This year, the IDPs are being evicted from the hostels of higher education of Azerbaijan. Entire blocks were built for them in Absheron region, but the IDPs complain that it is possible to get in those houses that are built for them only by paying bribes to employees of Azerbaijan State Committee for Refugees and IDPs. Azerbaijani portal "Haqqin.az" reports referring to the immigrants.

As it is stated in the material, according to the information of Azerbaijani State Committee on Refugees and IDPs, only 750 families will be moved from the campus of the Azerbaijani State Oil Academy (ASOA). But this process runs not without conflict.

Thus, on the eve a few dozen of IDPs tried to hold a protest at the U.S. Embassy in Baku, but the police prevented this protest. The malcontent expressed their disagreement with the fact that the apartments are distributed unfairly and that the space there is insufficient.

The IDPs also claimed that the State Committee demands money of them for resettling. They however do not have the demanded amount of money. The hostel territory is currently under the police control.

One of the families complains that they will receive a two-room apartment, while there are 4 people in their family - the parents and two grown sons. "How are we going to live in a two-room apartment? Are we going to sleep in the same room - parents together with grown up sons?" revolts the family.

According to them, they will demand asylum in the United States, if the authorities do not solve their problem as soon as possible.

As the portal notes, 760 apartments are constructed in the village Masazir for the IDPs temporarily settled in the campus of the Azerbaijani State Oil Academy. 490 out of 760 apartments are two-roomed, 90 are one-roomed, 170 –three-roomed, and 10 – four-roomed.
