BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 15. The attention to
martyr families and disabled veterans in Azerbaijan is one of the
priority directions of the state's social policy, MP Jeyhun
Mammadov told Trend .
According to Mammadov, measures aimed at improving living
conditions and increasing the social well-being of the martyr
families are constantly taken in the country.
“Azerbaijan is one of the few countries in the world where the
martyr families and disabled veterans are given great attention and
care, and the state provides them with apartments and cars,'
Mammadov also noted.
He stressed that more than 13,000 people from the above category
in Azerbaijan have been provided with housing, and 7,400 - with
cars.
'This is a big figure. Participants and veterans of the first
Karabakh war, standing in line, will be provided with housing in
the near future,” Mammadov said.
“All the above testifies to the successful implementation of
social policy in Azerbaijan. The state is taking important steps to
further improve the well-being of people in this category. This
attention and care will continue in the future,' the MP added.
According to another MP, Azer Badamov, the state always pays
attention to the martyr families and war disabled citizens.
'President Ilham Aliyev's meetings with our servicemen injured
during the 2020 second Karabakh war, and instructions given by him
on the spot to solve certain problems are a clear display of this
concern,” Badamov said.“At all meetings, the head of state
instructs officials to pay attention to the problems of martyr
families and disabled veterans. In accordance with the presidential
orders, many state programs are being implemented to strengthen the
social protection of martyr families and disabled veterans.”
“A lump-sum allowance in the amount of 11,000 manat ($6,470) was
paid and a monthly allowance was assigned to all martyr families.
All disabled people, depending on the disability degree, are paid
insurance funds and are assigned pensions,” the MP noted.
“A state program is being implemented to improve the living
conditions of martyr families and disabled veterans. Within the
framework of these programs, more than 12,500 martyr families and
disabled veterans were provided with housing or private houses.
This program provides housing for all martyr families and disabled
veterans until 2025,” he further said.
“More than 7,500 cars have been provided to the disabled
veterans of the first and second Karabakh wars, and the
implementation of this program continues. Expenses for the
education of martyrs' children are covered by the state, and health
camps are organized for them,” Badamov noted.
“By the order of the head of state, the YASAT Foundation was
established, and at the expense of donations received by the
foundation, the rehabilitation of disabled veterans is carried out,
and their treatment is organized abroad. Citizens who have lost
limbs are provided with high-tech prostheses. The state is also
creating rehabilitation centers that organize the treatment of
thousands of veterans,' added Badamov.
