Tenants of the houses in the Heydar Aliyev Avenue moved silently

Tenants of the houses  at  Heydar Aliyev Avenue  from the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center to  Aga  Neymatulla  Street moved. These  buildings  which were built  in the end of the 40s forties, will be demolished  according to the  decision of the city authorities, and in their place will be built eight seven-storey buildings.

The exception is the dormitory building, and talks are going with  the tenants.

It should be noted that  this time resettlement of residents  went quietly without excesses and violations of civil rights . A couple of years ago in the resettlement of residents from the center of Baku  near Heydar Aliyev Palace to the building of the National Drama Theatre, accompanied by massive violations of law and violence, and it was  sharply criticized  within the country and abroad.  After the criticism the government was forced to  adopt "Rules for compiling the resettlement plan and instructions on relocation from 24 February 2012 to ensure the fulfillment of the law "On the seizure of land for public needs," but the decision did not bring  transparency to the process of rejection of the property in the so-called "state needs."

As it became known Turan, the issue of resettlement was resolved with each family in the Heydar Aliyev Avenue individually,  with consideration square meters,  the number of family members, the state of  apartments, etc. The standard amount of damages AZN 1,500 per square meter was not applied this time. Residents  were offered monetary compensation, or an apartment  in the house to be built. Those who wish to get an apartment in a building that will be built on the site of their old house, have been allocated from 300 to 500 manat per month for temporary rent apartments.

The houses should be built  by spring of 2015, the first European Olympic Games to be held in Baku on 12-28 June .

It remains unclear what was the reason for the demolitions of building , which three years ago  were restored, and  compared with a large number of Soviet five-and nine- storey  buildings look quite respectable. Such a decision after the recent restoration indicates the absence of the general plan of Baku, which is so much  spoken bout for 20 years. However, it must be noted that after the renaming  the Moskovsky prospect into Heydar Aliyev Avenue, the  authorities began to dignify all the supporting infrastructure. Offices, the Olympic village, and  sports complexes are built along the Heydar Aliyev Avenue.—0—
