Let’s note it too that, Dissemination of driver’s apology videos with public outcry snowswelled, social This action of the police has become a target of sharp criticism in the networks. However, Elshad Hajiyev said that the videos were not taken by the police.
The problem raised by the drivers during the incidents was not discussed by government agencies at all. They made quite serious accusations against DANX. Drivers say they have a monopoly on the distribution of permits. (Dozvol is derived from the Polish word Zezvolenie, which is the slang name for a permit for trucks – ed.)
Shahin Najafov, Chairman of the Public Union for Support of Economic Relations of Caspian Businessmen, commented on the problem to Pressklub.az that, DANX creates serious problems for transport companies to obtain “dozvol” by law. According to him according tosince the beginning of the year, the state body has been issuing permits in the name of companies close to it, while carriers have also stated that they have applied that, DANX has sold out the “dozvol” limit:
“What should be done?” 10-15 dollar permits issued by companies close to them 300-600 dollars lines between. Ziya In Mammadov’s time, the head of this department, Chingiz Bakhshaliyev, raised the price of a $ 15 dozvol to $ 2,000. At present, the cost of transporting goods from Iran to Russia is high. “Russian agents” Dagestan, Russia They create all conditions for the transportation of trucks. But the fact that Azerbaijani trucks are not “allowed” to third countries according to they are in a state of distress. Although the cars receive cargo from Iran, they cannot enter Russia. The actions of these officials are not only corruption, but also treason. Their actions must be investigated that, why he held a position in Azerbaijan, Russia work for. I consider that, from the positions of both Anar Rzayev and Malik Aliyev free It should be done, it should be investigated. “
Najafov believes that, arrested drivers should be released, the investigation should not be conducted unilaterally: “How can it be that the driver is in custody, the officers are in a warm office. There is no such research. ”
The head of the service, Anar Rzayev, said in an interview with Public Television on February 17 that, There is no illegality in the issuance of permits. He said that, These papers are issued in limited quantities by the governments of the countries against Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani side also transparently distributes the distribution among 150 local companies and protest That’s what makes drivers angry that, they asked for more permits.
However, another truck driver, who did not want to be named, said in an interview with RFE / RL that he was facing the same situation, with at least three companies buying and selling permits from the government.
“20 dollars per season from this permit and sometimes depending on demand 100 dollars, sometimes even 10We have to buy $ 00. These companies obtain these bills without the company’s stamp. One of these companies enters into a contract with him to issue this permit to truck drivers.
