Agencies of «Property Market» journal, media magazine of the Union, travels regularly to Territorial Offices of the Service per each month and provide public with information about registrations, positive sides of public registration of property and etc. The conducted researches show that the said activity of «Property Market» Journal has been a part of Public Communication Campaign.

The Union experts make regular speeches on the said field and analysis relating to the processes occurring in the real estate market by televisions.

«Property Market Participants» Public Union considers that citizens’ of regions ownership on property, transactions conducted on real estate, proprietorship rights, the ways of income, communication of public about easy business environment and enlightenment issues are much required fields. The conducted researches show that whereas the registrations of proprietary rights were 11516 during 2007, 70 % of them, i.e. 79517 of them were shared among Baku (47485), Sumgait, Ganja and Absheron Territorial Offices. The remaining 36099 registrations were conducted in 48 administrative regions for 16 territorial offices. The indicated fact shows that citizens’ are lack of knowledge in the said field, as their rights to obtain information relating to proprietary rights are restricted.
          Considering all abovementioned, «Property Market Participants» Public Union offers to express its capacities and interests in Public Communication Campaign. The Organization deems that it’s fully ready to participate in this project and willing to full execution of activities to be done within the project.
