Debate has emerged within the Milli Majlis regarding housing eligibility for residents returning to liberated territories. Member of Parliament Aqil Abbas raised concerns that current laws restrict housing benefits to those with official internally displaced person status, potentially excluding individuals with ancestral ties to areas like Aghdam and Fuzuli who lack local registration.

In response to discussions on resettlement, Deputy Vuqar Bayramov announced that the government intends to offer homes to all former internally displaced persons as part of the Great Return state program. He reported that 26 billion manat has been allocated for reconstruction, with significant progress made in infrastructure, including the construction of roads and the operation of three international airports. Approximately 100,000 citizens are currently active in these territories, and the government expects mass resettlement to continue through 2027.
