Mahammad Davudov, a resident of Mamrukh village in Zaqatala district, claims his leased land of nearly 30 years is being taken away.
According to him, the plot was allocated during the land reform of 1997. Initially 93 ares, it was reduced to 60 ares in early 2000s when documents were updated.
In 2020, boundaries changed due to allocation of 4 hectares of municipal land. In December 2024, the municipality said the contract was expiring.
Davudov: "When I applied in February to renew documents, the accountant said the land would be leased to someone else. They suggested I participate in the auction if I'm not satisfied."
Municipal chairman Tarlan Ibrahimov said the land hasn't been assigned yet and will be auctioned next month.
