RESIDENTS OF FUZULI STREET FIGHT FOR THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS

Today, the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan heard the appeal filed against the Baku Appeals Court decision on Ismayil Bagvanov's lawsuit demanding the restoration of his property right. Bagvanov is one of the residents of the building on 44 Fuzuli street who saw their apartments demolished to make room for the construction of the Winter Boulevard development. Bagcanov, who rejected Baku City Executive Power's compensation offer of 1500 AZN per square meter, went to court to seek compensation for his violated property rights. According to Bagvanov's lawyer, Shafa Jamalzada, the Supreme Court reversed the Appeal Court's decision which had ruled that the Finance Ministry should pay the compensation to the apartment owner. Now, it is the Baku City Executive Power that has to pay. Another resident of the same building, Parviz Amirov, had a similar lawsuit with Local Economic Court #1 postponed because the defendant -- the Baku City Executive Power representative -- failed to show up. The process was postponed.
