”Since the morning police troops have been deployed into thevillageofMinbashiin Sabirabad region, and some resident were arrested. On the eve of the villagers protested demanding an equitable distribution of compensation for the victims of floods in 2010.

For some time the protesters, about 150 people, blocked the road Shirvan-Sabirabad. Currently, the approaches to the village have been blocked by police. 

Residents believe that the funds allocated for them, have been embezzled by Beybala Iskanderov, the representative of executive power in the village, his deputy, Gadir Aliyev, and Rufulla Gochayev, the head of the municipality. They are accused of misappropriation of 200 manat from each thousand manta of compensation.
