In 1993, a refugee from Khojaly Mehriban Bekirova (Khamzayeva), whose husband died heroically, defending the Khojaly airport, was allotted a land plot of 12 acres in the village of Turklyar in the Beylagan district.
Mehriban Bekirova and her four young children all these years have been living in the Goranboy region, like most of the Khojaly people. At that time, the authorities allocated 1200 sq. m of land from the fund of the local state farm, but did not take care of the registration of cadastral documents, maps and clear definitions to whom the site was given and where it is allocated.
As a result, the development and use of allocated land occurred haphazardly and with obvious violations.
A non-working widow with four children (one of whom was deaf-and-dumb) could not deal with the paperwork regarding a site located 200 km from her place of residence. All this time, she piously believed that she and her children had a rightful place that they would be able to use some day.
Years later, the children grew up, started their own families, and decided to use the land allocated to them. When they arrived at the site, it turned out that the land had long been re-registered to another person and had already been settled...
Attempts to achieve truth and justice in the Executive Power of the Beylagan district did not produce results. There, the refugee was recommended ... to buy her land from the new owner.
Mehriban Bekirova, who after the death of her husband lost her young daughter Gunay in 2011, suffered a shock.
The appeal of the Turan news agency to the EP of Beylagan was redirected to the municipality of the village of Turklyar, whose representative Ahmedaly Mursalov said that the municipality does not have an additional land fund and confirmed that Bekirova can only buy the specified plot from the new owner.
The current situation caused a heart attack at Bekirova and her hospitalization.
It seems that even 27 years after the tragedy of Khojaly, the torment of this family did not stop.
Recall that the tragic fate of Bekirova was described in detail in the documentary film of the Lithuanian cinematographers Endless Corridor, which received numerous international prizes and was also shown on Azerbaijani television channels.
Such an attitude towards the people who suffered in the war and lost their breadwinner cannot but cause outrage and every kind of condemnation. -0 -----

I would like to briefly discuss a highly important reform initiated by the Azerbaijani government 10 years ago but remains incomplete to this day.

In our society, there is no place under the sun for enlightened people. In our society, the place for enlightened individuals is in dark basements. People who ought to spread light are subjected to curses. Their only weapon is their bright ideas. Their only crime relates to daring to uncover truths hidden beneath the societal fog, bringing them to light and acquainting the community with them. Natig Javadli was such a person, a journalist with a historical consciousness and an enlightening activity.

Alaskar Mammadli, a well-known lawyer and media expert, has issued a message to fellow citizens on the occasion of Azerbaijanis' Solidarity Day and New Year from his prison cell, where he has been held since March 2024. Mammadli, arrested on charges of currency smuggling, has denied the accusations, which international media and human rights organizations have labeled politically motivated.
