Report of the project on monitoring of ‘State Program on fight against corruption’

	RESIDENTS UNABLE TO GET COMPENSATION FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION OF WATER PIPELINE (+Video) Although almost a year has passed since the launch of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, built to meet drinking water demands in the capital, transparent information on the project and expenditure is still unavailable. The complaints and disappointment on the part of the population have not diminished. In the regions through which the pipeline travels, many citizens report that their property rights were violated during the construction work, and their losses have not been compensated.
	Oil revenues and the housing problems of the population One of the very few positive steps in the file of social policy of Formet Soviet authority was implementation of large-scale housing construction program. Thanks to this program thousands of people every year only in Azerbaijan were provided with new flats. Unfortunately, 20 years ago, along with the Soviet regime the housing construction program was taken to the archives of our history. If to say figuratively: “together with waste wate inside bath, we through away the efficient emryo-child”.
	Where oil revenues in Azerbaijan are directed, the development of mass tourism or creation of “blinding” facade for foreigners The rapid growth of revenues from oil exports of Azerbaijan no doubt is one of the important factors providing the development of country’s economy. According to the words of head of the state in the meeting of first half of the year of Cabinet of Ministries on 12th July 2011 devoted to the results of socio-economic development, the country's strategic currency reserves are increasing steadily. Thus, since the beginning of 2011 strategic currency reserves of Azerbaijan have increased 9 billion dollar, and at present is 38 billion dollar. It creates wonderful opportunities to Azerbaijan government to solve one of the important problems of the country- diversification of the economy. The problem is only to use these opportunities effectively.
