Flood victims in 2010 in the Kura River continue to fight for their rights in the courts. Because of red tape, trials of more than one hundred citizens, who filed lawsuits two years ago, in October 2010, have not finished yet. Lawsuits of 128 people, prepared by the Staff of civil society "Kura" were considered initially by the Administrative Economic Court N 1. Claims of 30 people were satisfied, and two withdrew their claims.
Since April 2010, 96 complaints were submitted to the Shirvan Administrative-Economic Court. However, that court refused to consider the cases, and sent them to the Shirvan Court of Appeal, which finally accepted the case for review.
The first meeting, scheduled for September 3, chaired by Elkhan Amiraliev, will consider
claims of residents of Imishli region: Elman Shahbazov, Assad Khalilov, and others demanding that the Ministry for Economic Situations (MES) and Executive Power of the Region pay out compensation.
Along with this, consideration of some claims took place in the higher courts, including the Supreme Court. Furthermore, a few days ago, the complaint of a farmer of Saatli region, who was deprived of state compensation, was sent to the European Court of Human Rights. At present, documents of several people from Sabirabad region are prepared or the European Court.
The rights of local people, affected by the flood, are protected by the staff of “Kura” civil society. To eliminate the consequences of the floods in the spring of 2010, 460 million manat were allocated from the state budget. For exposing corruption and discrimination, activists of the “Kura” staff are subjected to arrests and harassment. Over the past five months, three community activists were arrested, and the coordinator of the staff, Oktay Gyulalyev, was released on parole, and is under home arrest. Activists Ilham Amiraslanov and Mirabad Rzayev are still under illegal arrest.
Despite all this, the staff of a civil society "Kura" continues its activity and protects the violated rights of citizens, affected by floods. -0-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
