New schools are being built in the liberated territories of
Azerbaijan, Deputy Minister of Science and Education Firudin
Gurbanov said.
According to Gurbanov, the construction of schools in Shusha,
Aghdam and Jabrayil continue. The minister noted that during the 30
years of occupation in Karabakh, nearly 600 historical monuments,
samples of national cultural heritage, and about 1,000 educational
institutions were destroyed.
“Today we can proudly say that creative work is underway in the
liberated territories, large projects are being implemented by
order of the head of state,' the minister added.
Currently, work is underway to restore Azerbaijan's liberated
lands. Azerbaijan will rebuild its recently liberated areas in four
stages. The initial stage includes the solution of the issues of
governance and security, and infrastructure, while the subsequent
stages include the solution of the issues of social services
activities, reconstruction, and development of the economy.
In 2021, Azerbaijan allocated $1.5 billion for the
reconstruction of liberated territories, followed by AZN 2.2
billion ($1.2 billion) in 2022. These funds will be used primarily
to restore infrastructure (electricity, gas, water, communications,
roads, education, health, and so on) as well as cultural and
historical monuments.
