UN: Azerbaijan sets example for entire world

Azerbaijan sets an example for the whole world with its experience in the process of returning IDPs.

Resident Representative of the UN Development Programme in Azerbaijan Alessandra Roccasalvo said this during the drawing of lots for residents of Fuzuli town liberated from 30-year occupation, Azertag reports.

She also praised the preparation of people for return.

It should be noted that earlier State Committee for Refugees and IDPs said that another 22 families will be relocated to Fuzuli as part of the Great Return Programme.

The main objective of the First State Program of the Great Return to the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, approved by the head of state in November 2022, is to accelerate the creation of public utilities and social infrastructure, construction of housing, development of production and creation of new jobs for the rapid return of the citizens of the Garabagh and East Zangazur economic regions.

Particularly, about 3,500 flats and individual houses are planned to be built in the liberated territories by 2027, where 34,500 families of formerly displaced persons will be settled in stages.
