On World Refugee Day, we honour the strength and courage of
Azerbaijani refugees, and underline their right for a dignified and
secure return to their homes, Azernews reports,
citing the post shared by Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry on its
official "X" account.
"Azerbaijan protects and supports its refugees on every step of
their journey, and shares their hopes for a secure and inclusive
future," the ministry added.
It should be noted that World Refugee Day is an international
day established by the United Nations to highlight the problem of
refugees around the world. It is celebrated on June 20 every
year.
Recall that following the liberation of the Garabagh and Eastern
Zangazur regions from Armenian occupation during a 44-day war in
2020, the Azerbaijani government embarked on extensive
infrastructure initiatives to restore the region.
In November 2022, President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree
approving the“First State Program on the Great Return to
Azerbaijan's Liberated Territories,” outlining the preparation of
280,000 hectares (692,000 acres) of land in the Garabagh and
Eastern Zangazur regions for resettlement by 2026. By that same
year, approximately 34,500 families are expected to relocate to the
Garabagh and Eastern Zangazur regions, necessitating the
construction of 34,500 apartments and private houses.
