Not a single international agency has voiced support for the
reconstruction of Azerbaijan's liberated Karabakh, Chairman of the
Executive Board of the Karabakh Revival Fund Rahman Hajiyev has
said.
The remarks were made at the ASAP Forum 2022, organized by the
Azerbaijan Youth Foundation and the Azerbaijani Students and Alumni
Platform (ASAP) on July 28.
'So far, none of the international institutions have expressed
any support for reconstruction activities or landmine clearance
being carried out in Karabakh. Azerbaijan counts only on its own
capabilities and resources. Just as we liberated our lands, we're
responsible for their restoration as well,' Hajiyev stated.
The chairman stressed that the damage caused to the country's
liberated territories during the 30-year Armenian occupation is
obvious.
Further, he brought up the fact that European countries have an
ally as the US.
'Even though two years have passed since the end of the second
Karabakh war, we still fail to calculate the damage caused to these
territories,' Hajiyev said.
Azerbaijan allocated $1.5 billion for the reconstruction of the
liberated territories in 2021. In particular, these funds will be
used to restore the infrastructure (electricity, gas, water,
communications, roads, education, health, etc), as well as cultural
and historical monuments.
