Decision No. 1510 (15 August 2017) of the Samarkand City Hokim, Vokhid Rahimov, ordered the demolition of four neighbouring two-storey houses on Navoishokh Street, Samarkand (numbers 43, 45, 47 and 49) (1). The decision states that the properties do not meet urban planning requirements, and permits Samarkand Agro Export Service LLC to relocate the existing buildings, and to construct multi-storey residential buildings on the land (ibid.) The company extract for Samarkand Agro Export Service, when checked on 4 May 2020, reveals that the sole shareholder is Martirosov Artyom Arturovich (5).
On 7 October 2017, Decision No. 10/2850 of the Samarkand Regional Prosecutor’s Office recommended that Decision 1510 be annulled (2). This recommendation is based on the fact that the prosecutor’s office found the decision to be in violation of the constitutional rights of the residents (ibid.) For example, the prosecutor’s office found that the property rights of 25 residents were violated in that these residents did not provide their written consent, despite the claims of Decision No. 1510 (ibid.) On 14 October 2017, the new Hokim, Furkat Rahimov, issued Decision No. 1755-K which annulled Decision No. 1510 (3).
On 5 January 2018, a company called Silk Voyage LLC was registered (4).The managing director of the company is Artyom Martirosov (4). As per the company extract, checked on 25 June 2022, the largest shareholder of Silk Voyage LLC is Anna Martirosova who has a 70% shareholding in the company (4). On 6 July 2018, the acting Hokim of Samarkand, Talant Esirgapov, issued Decision No. 1217-K (7) which amended the wording of Decision No. 1510 to remove the words “Samarkand Agro Export Service”, and replace them with “Silk Voyage LLC”.
The design of the multi-storey residential buildings proposed by Silk Voyage LLC was also permitted in two different formats. Decision No. 1510 (15 August 2017) approves the construction of a four-storey building (1). The 22 May 2018 protocol of the Construction Directorate of Samarkand approves the construction of a seven-storey building (8).
The resident of one property, 49 Navoishokh Street, alleges that there was a robbery at her property which was not properly investigated by police (9). On 21 January 2020 the residents of this property were evicted from their homes (10), before the property was destroyed in the following months (11).
