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.

После того как способные, мыслящие потенциальные кандидаты находятся в тюрьме, если победитель известен уже до начала выборов, зачем этот фарс с кандидатами? Уже никто не верит ни в какую демократию или демократические выборы в Азербайджане. И сколько раз одному и тому же человеку можно баллотироваться в президенты? Сколько можно злоупотреблять своим положением и менять Конституцию под жадный аппетит своей семьи?
