BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 18. Azerbaijan achieved
a glorious victory in the 2020 Second Karabakh War, MP Vugar
Isgandarov told Trend .
According to Isgandarov, under the leadership of the Supreme
Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the valiant Azerbaijani Army
liberated the country's lands from Armenian occupation [in the
Second Karabakh War].
This victory was achieved due to various factors, and one of
them is the great attention to the Armed Forces, he said.
According to the MP, this policy continues in the post-war
period.
'In Azerbaijan, the families of martyrs, war invalids, veterans,
as well as participants of the Second Karabakh War are always at
the center of attention. Our state is doing everything possible for
the martyr families, veterans, and war participants. Besides, the
veterans are given cars, and their social problems are solved,'
Isgandarov said.
The MP noted that by decrees and orders of the head of state,
the social security of people from the above category is constantly
being strengthened, and social benefits for them have been
consistently increased over the past four years.
'At the same time, by instruction of President Ilham Aliyev, the
program for providing apartments for people from this category was
expanded by five times in 2021,' he reminded.
Isgandarov also noted that this policy is successfully
continuing in 2022.
'More than 12,000 apartments were provided to the families of
martyrs of the first and second Karabakh wars. A total of 3,000
apartments were provided in 2021, and 1,500 - this year. These
apartments have all the conditions for living. On the instruction
of President Ilham Aliyev, close relatives of martyrs are also
always kept in the center of attention,' the MP said.
“All the above, including state support for the veterans and
martyr families, their constant presence in the center of attention
of President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice President Mehriban
Aliyeva, and the solution of their problems, once again clearly
demonstrate the concern of our state for people from this
category,” he noted.
'This policy is permanent. Close relatives of people who gave
their lives for their Motherland, including veterans and war
participants, will continue to be provided with care and attention
from the state,' Isgandarov added.
Another MP Sevinj Huseynova said that a very successful social
policy is being implemented in Azerbaijan, and within this policy,
serious work is being done to ensure the social protection of the
martyr families and veterans, as well as improve their welfare and
solve their problems.
Huseynova noted that the head of state always pays special
attention and care to this area.
'Over the past three years, unprecedented reforms have been
carried out in this area. Pensions and benefits paid to the martyr
families and veterans have been increased up to three times,' she
said. 'In the past and this year, in accordance with the
Azerbaijani president's decree, benefits to the war invalids have
been increased.'
'Serious work is underway to improve not only financial support
of this category of people but also their living conditions and
provision with cars,' Huseynova added.
The MP also pointed out that within the program approved by
President Ilham Aliyev, it's planned to provide housing and private
houses to 11,000 martyr families through 2025.
'According to the president's relevant decree, a state program
was approved to provide housing for martyr families, war invalids
and other vulnerable groups through 2025,' she further said. 'As a
result, more than 13,000 people from this category have been
provided with apartments or private houses.'
'At the same time, very important steps are being taken to
protect the health of veterans, provide them with modern
prostheses, and conduct their rehabilitation courses, which also
contribute to their recovery. Provision of social and psychological
services can be also added to these works,' Huseynova noted.
'As part of measures to provide the war invalids with cars, up
to 1,500 cars were provided to them over the past four years and
7,450 - for the entire period. Attention and care to the martyr
families have always been and will be great in Azerbaijan,' the MP
stressed.
'The care of the state about citizens from the above category
also indicates that neither the state nor the people forget about
those who gave their lives for the Motherland,' she concluded.
