The Azerbaijani government is set to restore over 217 houses in Girmizi Bazar village of Khojavand District by late 2025, Caliber.Az reports per local media.

For the record, in 2023, as a result of an anti-terrorist operation conducted by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the Girmizi Bazar settlement in the Khojavand district — located in the picturesque corners of the Karabakh region and holding important strategic and geographic significance — came under Azerbaijan’s control.

Leyla Sarabi, press secretary of the Reconstruction, Construction and Management Service for the Aghdam, Fuzuli and Khojavand districts, said that electricity and gas supply lines in the settlement have been restored, along with an artesian well.

Work has begun on installing meters, two transformers have been set up, three water reservoirs have been repaired, and a gas pipeline over 11 kilometres long has been laid.

At present, Girmizi Bazar has functioning public service facilities as well as a production workshop.

The settlement contains 300 private houses, of which 71 are uninhabitable and 229 are partially fit for living. Ten houses are already ready for use. In total, 217 private houses will be restored by the end of 2025, and another 12 in 2026.

Currently, 10 families (39 people) have returned to the settlement.
