Shusha repopulation: 30 families head back to native lands

Another migration caravan with former Azerbaijani IDPs left for the town of Shusha on September 5.

As many as 30 families comprising 102 people have returned to their native land, Caliber.Az reports.

Earlier these families were temporarily settled in hostels, sanatoriums, former pioneer camps, unfinished and administrative buildings in different parts of the country.

The families who arrived were handed keys to new flats.

At this stage, 177 families - 672 people - are permanently resettled in Shusha.

As a result of the brilliant victory of the Azerbaijani Army in the 44-day Patriotic War of 2020 under the leadership of President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev, the former IDPs now have the opportunity to return to their homeland voluntarily, safely and with dignity after 30 years.

Residents of Shusha city expressed gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev state and First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva for all-round state care, thanked the brave Azerbaijani Army for the liberation of our lands from occupation, wished repose to the souls of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for this high goal.
