Azerbaijan unveils amount of funds allocated for Karabakh restoration

In January-September this year, the Azerbaijani government allocated 3 billion 741 million manats for reconstruction and restoration of territories liberated from occupation, Trend reports citing Azerbaijani Finance Ministry.

According to the report, this is 77.9 per cent of the funds provided for these purposes in the State Budget for 2023.

These funds were used on the basis of cash order documents submitted by contracting organisations for the relevant projects.

Since the end of the Patriotic War,  Azerbaijan has been carrying out large-scale restoration of transport, energy and communal infrastructure, as well as creating industrial clusters within the framework of the program for the revival of the territories liberated from occupation. Along with primary infrastructure restoration projects, the priority goal of the I State Program "Great Return" is the accelerated formation of communal and social infrastructure, the construction of housing, the development of production and the creation of new jobs, which will make it possible to revive vital activity in the Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur economic regions of the country in the near future.

In particular, it is planned to build about three and a half tens of thousands of apartments and individual houses in the liberated territories by 2027, where 34.5 thousand families of former IDPs will be gradually resettled.

Preparations for the resettlement of citizens are actively underway in Shusha, Zangilan, Fuzuli, and Aghdam districts, where large-scale construction of housing is underway.
