Abbas Ganbay read more The return of of internally displaced persons to their ancestral
lands liberated from Armenian occupation arduously continues.
Within the framework of the Great Return Programme initiated by
President Ilham Aliyev, 19 more families comprising 89 people were
relocated in Azerbaijan's Lachin district. The citizens were
escorted from the Garadagh district of Baku in a ceremony attended
by Azerbaijani officials.
The residents of Lachin will be settled in their native houses,
where they once lived before the occupation. All houses have been
restored or repaired as part of the reconstruction works being
carried out in the region.
Work in this area is already being successfully continued and
every time new families return to their homeland. all this is a
part of a big project that is being implemented rapidly in
Azerbaijan. But there is still much work to be done.
Economist Eyyub Karimli, who shared his views on the continuous
resettlement of people to territories freed from occupation and
infrastructure works there, commented to AZERNEWS .
"As you know, according to the state's "Great Return" programme,
which will continue until 2026, more than 10 thousand people will
be resettled on the liberated lands, and I believe that Lachin will
be further developed till 2026, as the residents need
infrastructure, housing, and other needs, and for this purpose the
state has allocated more than 12bn manat from the budget, to
improve life and build infrastructure, and in this context, I am
sure that the resettlement of residents will be continued even
further."
Thus, 152 families (591 people) have been provided with
permanent residence in Lachin.
The great programme of the head of state has given fresh breath
of life to the territories, and hope for a better life to the IDPs
who are delighted of being back to their native lands.
"I wish Allah's mercy to our martyrs and good health to our
veterans. Our mighty Army under the leadership of the supreme
Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev has kicked the enemy out of our
land. I believe that better days are waiting for us," a resident
returning to Lachin told with great happiness.
Talking about the infrastructure projects as well as the latest
technological advantages built in Lachin, the expert also noted
that more things will be done for the new residents and all the
needs of the people will be met.
"As you know, the infrastructure and the houses built in Lachin
are built at the highest level. Due to new technologies meeting the
highest standards, environmentally friendly houses,
energy-renewable resources, as well as the airport will be built in
Lachin in the near future. Works on the construction of smart
villages as well as smart cities in the Lachin district are also
underway.
Besides, favourable conditions have been created for the
resettled families. Schools and houses have been built, state
institutions have been created to create job opportunities for the
residents," the expert added.
