Another group of former internally displaced persons has departed for the city of Lachin, the settlements of Hadrut and Girmizi Bazar in the Khojavand district, and the village of Khydyrly in the Aghdam district.

The families had previously been temporarily housed in dormitories, sanatoriums, children’s camps, unfinished buildings, and administrative facilities.

Following the victory of the Azerbaijani Army in the Patriotic War under the leadership of President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, former internally displaced persons have been given the opportunity to return to their homeland voluntarily, safely, and with dignity after 30 years.

Residents expressed gratitude to the head of state and First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva for comprehensive state support, thanked the Azerbaijani army for liberating the territories from occupation, and honoured the memory of the martyrs who lost their lives for this cause.
