An employment program for Azerbaijan's former IDPs, who will
return to the liberated lands, should be worked out, Special
Representative of the Azerbaijani President in Shusha District
Aydin Karimov said.
He made the remarks at the Azerbaijan National Urban Development
Forum on 'Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda as
a Leading Force for Post-Conflict Recovery and Reconstruction'.
Karimov noted that there are two tasks ahead: to build
infrastructure and a more difficult one - to provide jobs for
IDPs.
He noted that it is planned to return up to 2,500 people to
Shusha city by the end of 2023.
'We must already now prepare jobs for these people. Criteria of
working out the employment program should be determined,' he
added.
Similarly, UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Azerbaijan Guido
Ambroso stated that the UN supports Azerbaijan's aspiration to
return former internally displaced persons to their liberated
territories.
According to him, this is a successful and sustainable
decision.
'The Azerbaijani government is facing huge tasks in terms of
construction and reconstruction, mine-clearance, as well as the
creation of urban centers that are attractive to all social groups,
as a long-term solution, within the framework of the Great Return
program,' Ambroso said.
Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev approved amendments to the law
'On the state budget of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2022' on
July 4.
Under the presidential decree, Azerbaijan allocated an
additional AZN470 million ($276.47 million) for the reconstruction
and restoration of the liberated territories in 2022.
Earlier, the law 'On the state budget of the Republic of
Azerbaijan for 2022' envisaged the allocation of AZN2.2 billion
($1.29 billion) for the reconstruction activities in Karabakh.
