Elnur Mammadov, Azerbaijan’s Deputy Foreign Minister, announced Azerbaijan’s commitment to safely resettle communities displaced from their homes.
He stated that the country is undertaking what it calls the “Great Return” process to bring people back to areas previously affected by conflict. So far, more than 40,000 internally displaced people have returned to their homes, and reconstruction has taken place in over 45 settlements. Approximately 100,000 people currently live, work, and study in the Garabagh region of Azerbaijan.
Mammadov acknowledged that significant challenges remain despite the progress made over the last six years. Landmines continue to pose a threat to people’s safety and hinder rebuilding efforts, with a civilian recently injured by a mine. Azerbaijan intends to continue working to remove these obstacles and ensure a safe return for all displaced communities.
