Energetic crisis is worsening in Azerbaijan. Residents of Baku suburbs have recently held a mass protest action against break of electricity supplies. It came to blocking the motorway leading to the capital center. The situation is worse in the provinces. According to the information by “Echo” Baku newspaper, serious public unrest is expected in Nakhichevan. Dwellers of Yayji village of Julfa region, who have electricity at home only for a few hours a day, have picketed the entrance of the local administration building in the regional center. The social conditions of Nakhichevan population are catastrophic. The local press writes “people survive only because the village shops still agree to give products on credit.” The situation was further aggravated by the fact that recently the participants of the Karabakh war, most part of whom lives in poverty, were deprived of facility in accordance with the Government’s decision. Thousands of families live only owing to temporary employment migrants, who go to Turkey to earn money.

Most of them buy a one way ticket. Javadov says many families get news from Turkey their breadwinner has been arrested.
