Zakir Sultanov
Baku/28.01.22/Turan: The trial of the former head of the State Service for the Protection, Development and Restoration of Cultural Heritage under the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan Zakir Sultanov has been completed in the Baku Court of Grave Crimes.
During the hearing the defense appealed for a suspended sentence in considering that the defendant repaid damages of 5.3 million manats, repented for what he had done, cooperated with the investigation, and has two minor children.
However, the court sentenced Sultanov to 11 years of imprisonment with serving his sentence in a strict regime penal colony.
It should recalled that Sultanov and former Deputy Minister of Culture Rafig Bayramov were arrested in May 2020 on charges of corruption and abuse of office.
Later on, the case against Bayramov was transferred into a separate proceeding, and he was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.
An appeals court later reduced his sentence to 4.5 years of imprisonment.-06B-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
