Presidential Administration Sends Families of Martyrs to Courts

Baku / 20.11.18 / Turan: About 70 representatives of the families of martyrs who complain about the non-payment of compensation to them for the death of their relatives gathered today once again at the Alley of Martyrs.

At first, they wanted to go to AzTV to protest against the distorted state-television lighting of their problem and clarify the essence of the issue.

However, as one of the participants of the action, Sevinge Guluzadeh, reported, they were not allowed to go to AzTV.

The families of martyrs did not receive a response to their appeals to the Milli Majlis either.

After that, they went to the Presidential Administration, where they were recommended to apply to the courts, since the issue can be resolved individually.

According to Guluzadeh, the next steps of the martyr families will be determined after discussing the proposal from the Presidential Administration.

Recall that in the spring of this year, Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on the payment of lump-sum compensation to the families of persons killed or missed during the hostilities in defense of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in 1991-97. in the amount of 11 thousand manat.

Compensation began on October 9. However, many families were denied compensation on the pretext that they received funds in the past. Compensation is not given to the families of police officers either. Citizens' complaints to state bodies are not considered. -06D-
