Azerbaijanis driven away from their lands for their transfer to Armenians in Iran

The Iranian regime holds talks with Armenian companies on their renting the industrial-economic company Mughan (Pars Mughan), functioning in the area of the Mughan region of South Azerbaijan.

The due announcement was made by Sadiq Isabeyli, chairman of the Center of Researches and Information of the South Azerbaijanis Independence Party.

He said the Iranian regime drives the population out of the frontier villages of the Mughan region to settle them in new districts.

"The specialists of the organization "Natural resources and property registration" of Iran try to take the lands away from the residents of the Aynaly, Khudaferin, Uchtabin, Jananly, Aslanduz villages of Mughan regim, offering them bribes inexchange", Isabeyli said.

He noted that those, who do not agree with their conditions, are subjected to pressure by the police and Sepakh officers.

"For example, 55 year old Jananly village resident Qudrat Fekhri was subjected to pressure as he refused to sell the land. He was told that he should sell it or lend. Fakhri did not agree with their provisions. Then he was covered with earth by means of a bulldozer and only owing to village residents, he was taken out of the earth", said the party representative.

He noted that the military and ideological army of Iran Sepakh has recently started to use force to take the lands away from the residents of the Boyuk Khanli village of Mughan.

"This policy of force has continued for several years, but each time the regime faced resistance of the population. On April 30 of this year, the Sepakh forces used violence against the residents to drive them away from their lands, which resulted in a clash. Injuries were reported from both sides", said Isabeyli.

It should be noted that Pars Mughan is the largest state company of Iran, specialized in the sphere of agriculture. It accounts for over 3,000 employees.
