The authorities do not respond to the demands of the residents of the former "Sovetskaya" street

The authorities have not responded to the demands of the residents of demolished former "Sovetskaya" street protesting against a small amount of compensation. The information about the meeting and the chief executive of Yasamal district with a group of elders' of the street was not confirmed. According to the residents of the street, there was not even such a meeting.

Street residents are insistent on their demands for fair compensation issue. They note that the main topic of discussion is a small housing, the  owners of which under the current compensation will be left without apartments.

"Sovetskaya"is not only a space where we live, it's a way of life. It has its traditions,  and everyone knows each other and help when there is a common joy and grief. Under such situation it is impossible to remain indifferent to the fate of neighbors with whom they lived for so many years," said one of the residents.

People expect that the authorities will keep to their promises to consider their demands, and the minimum payment has been increased or the same people will be provided with decent housing. 

Otherwise, they are going to hold a protest.

The authorities are preparing to demolish housing in the "Sovetskaya", which will affect more than 10,000 families.

On February 16 the residents of this street made a protest, demanding to raise the amount of compensation from 1500 manat pern one square meter to 2.5000 – 3,000 manat.

During the action, on February 16 deputy Yasamal district, Samad Islamov,  said that compensation would be fair,  and without the consent of the owners not any house will be demolished. -05B04-
