Another group of former internally displaced people (IDPs) has left for Sus village of Azerbaijan’s Lachin district.

As a result of the brilliant victory of the Azerbaijani army in the second Karabakh war under the leadership of President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev, former IDPs are able to return voluntarily and safely to their native lands after 30 years.
