According to the relevant orders of the President of Azerbaijan and the resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers, some of our citizens have the right to receive free housing from the state."

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was stated by economist-deputy Vugar Bayramov.

He noted that persons with disabilities acquired in connection with the protection of territorial integrity, independence, constitutional order of Azerbaijan, as well as families of the deceased are provided with housing at the expense of the state budget.

That is, free housing is provided both for citizens with visual impairments and for children who have lost their parents. According to the legislation, regardless of the date of registration, this benefit is provided for persons with disabilities related to the liquidation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident (including the performance of military or official duties), for persons with disabilities acquired during military operations in 2020 in connection with the protection of territorial integrity, independence, constitutional order of Azerbaijan, for families of the deceased, for persons awarded the title "Hero of the Patriotic War," as well as for family members of persons who were posthumously awarded this title."
