In the response received from the MD it is stated that the shortcomings revealed during the visits and indicated in the Commissioner’s appeal have been eliminated. The response notes that the leaking parts of the roofs of the kitchen and storehouse of the military unit have been repaired and the long visit room allocated for convicts has been accordingly equipped. On the whole, it has been planned to perform capital repairs in the mentioned areas. Moreover, the search of women who come to visit convicts has been entrusted to a serviceman of the military unit who has served in the army for a longer term. It is also noted that the dormitories and other buildings where convicts live are heated with diesel fuel in a prescribed manner in winter season. Given that the military unit will be heated with natural gas in 2011, the current heating manner is deemed temporary. Along with the above mentioned, as a result of the investigation conducted in this respect, it has been found out that the village where the Disciplinary Military Unit is located is not provided with natural gas at all. The Commissioner has therefore requested the Executive Power of the district to which that village belongs to accelerate the actions aimed at the provision of natural gas to the village concerned and the military unit located there. In the letter received from the Executive Power of the district where the Disciplinary Military Unit is located it is stressed that since 2005 certain measures have been taken to solve the mentioned issue. It is stated that the village was not supplied with gas even before the independence. In this respect, relevant appeals have been addressed to the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan and assistance has been requested for the provision of gas to the village. Based on the instruction given to the Azerigas CJSC after the appeals, the Azerbaijan Scientific Research Project Gas Institute has performed necessary research works and prepared design estimates. In respect of the appeal, the Azerigas CJSC has informed that because the amount of the funds obtained from the payments made for the natural gas provided to the district does not allow for the implementation of the mentioned work, the work will be performed within the Action Plan for 2009-2013 drawn up on the basis of the State Program for Social and Economic Development of Regions. 68
