Some veterans of the Second Karabakh War faced the problem of obtaining a degree of disability. Several former war veterans last week Labor and Population Social In front of the building of the Ministry of Defense protest The fact that he was forced to break the glass of the building and get inside angered the public and raised the question: why can’t they get a degree of disability?

According to him, about two months ago, about 50 people who could not get a degree of disability in front of the ministry action They were promised that the problems would be solved: “Later, they solved the problems of about 5-6 people from that list, and directed 2-3 people. The rest did not answer. “

Haji Valiyev added that some of those who could not get an answer gathered again in front of the ministry building: “One of the veterans who broke down the door has very serious problems. The man was lying on wheels in Hovsan. We treated him with difficulty. “

The war veteran claims that January Hundreds of veterans have been told “your illness does not determine the degree of disability” since January.

Haji Valiyev said that although some veterans have documents proving that they can be given a degree of disability, the leadership of the relevant body does not pay attention to it.

He said that the veterans who took part in the action were told that they would be given a degree of disability from July 1: “Why should these people wait until July 1? The Cabinet of Ministers has issued a new decision that benefits for people with disabilities are calculated only from the day they receive a degree of disability. This means that during this period, they will not receive the benefits they are entitled to.

The ministry denies the allegations. Spokesman for the organization Fazil Talibov BBC News in response to a query from Azerbaijan said that some veterans were denied a degree because they were not diagnosed with a disability, others were invited to a commission for a visual examination and a decision was made to continue their treatment.

Rey Karimoglu

According to Rey Karimoglu, a participant in the First Karabakh War, the main reason for the problems with the degree of disability of veterans stems from the existing legislation:

“In 2015 Milli The Assembly and, accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution No. 413 on “disability criteria for degrees of disability.” According to the decision No. 413, at that time, about 90 percent of the diseases with a degree of disability and their limits were removed from the list.

The former war veteran hopes that the new mechanism will reflect the diseases that have been removed from the list: “But in all cases, the psychological condition of veterans must be taken into account. The rules of behavior with them must be changed. “

“… More than 600 new criteria will be added”

Musa Quliyev

“But this shortcoming has already been eliminated and appointments will be made according to new criteria. More than 600 new disability criteria will be added. In any case, the complaint of every Karabakh veteran must be heard and investigated. It would be good if there is no dissatisfaction, the examination will be conducted with the participation of public representatives and video to be filmed ”.

According to Musa Guliyev, he does not consider it right to make any distinction between a veteran or a civilian when assigning a degree of disability, because in this case, regardless of the reason, the loss of health is assessed:

“This is true not only in Azerbaijan, but also in the world. But, of course, there must be a difference in the security of those who lose their health in defense of the homeland compared to those who lose their health for common reasons. These are also taken into account. “
