Minister of Emergency Situations (MES) Kamaleddin Heydarov will receive citizens on June 14 in Salyan region. The meeting will be held in Mugan regional center of MES.
Residents of the following cities of Mugan lowland can meet with the Minister: cities of Shirvan, Sabirabad, Salyan, Neftechala, Hajigabul, Saatli, Bilasuvar, Imishli. The chairman of the NGO "Democracy Promotion" Emil Mammadov told Turan, that the vast majority of citizens, who want to meet with the Minister, have been affected by the 2010 floods. They are persons who did not receive one-time compensation, and whose property was not restored, said the human rights activist.
Mammadov also appealed to the Regional Emergency Center with a request to attend a reception of Heydarov as a representative of the complainants.
Earlier, a group of 116 people affected by the Kura flood in 2010, requested a meeting with the Minister for Emergency Situations.
All of them are suing the Ministry of Emergency Situations in Shirvan Administrative Economic Court. The authors of the letter, as affected by the floods, noted that they had repeatedly appealed to Heydarov and the relevant authorities about the infringement of their rights, but did not find understanding.
The letter reads that despite the great sums allocated to eliminate the effects of floods, the victims were deprived of attention. "Our houses are not built , are not repaired, and we do not receive compensation," write the complainants.
As a result of flooding in the spring of 2010 on the Kura and Araz rivers, more than 100 hectares of land and more than 20 million homes were flooded. The government allocated 460 million manat for the flood relief. The works were headed by the Ministry for Emergency Situations (MES). Public Association, “Kura” Civil Society created to help people, revealed a high degree of corruption, misappropriation of funds, and abuse of officials. Despite appeals to all higher authorities on abuses, no measures were taken.
200 families have filed complaints against the MES, of "Irrigation and Water Management," as well as the regional authorities. At present, 114 complaints are pending before the court. Two complaints were sent to the European Court of Human Rights. The rights of all claimants are protected by the “Kura” headquarters.
Similar situation is observed in the work of the MES for the elimination of the consequences of the earthquake in 2012 in Zadatala and Balaken regions. —
