Azerbaijan announces housing plans for former displaced persons

During a plenary session of the Milli Majlis, Deputy Vuqar Bayramov announced that the Azerbaijani government intends to offer homes to all former internally displaced persons in territories liberated from occupation. This initiative is part of the Great Return state program, which aims to facilitate large-scale resettlement in regions that were previously destroyed during the occupation.

Bayramov reported that 26 billion manat has been allocated from the state budget for the reconstruction of these areas. Infrastructure development is currently underway, including the construction of 64 roads totaling 3,720.5 kilometers, with 17 roads already completed. Additionally, three strategic international airports have been put into operation.

Currently, approximately 100,000 citizens are living, working, and studying in the liberated territories, including 41,213 former displaced persons. Significant resettlement has been noted in the Aghdam and Jabrayil districts. The government expects mass resettlement to continue through 2027.
