IDPs return to reconstructed Shusha under Great Return Program

A new group of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), comprising 8 families or 164 individuals, left the Garadagh district of Baku for the reconstructed city of Shusha. This relocation is part of the First State Program on the Great Return to the territories liberated from occupation.

Upon their return to their homeland, the residents of Shusha expressed deep gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva for the comprehensive state care they have received. They also extended heartfelt thanks to the valiant Azerbaijani Army, honoring the heroic soldiers and officers who played a pivotal role in liberating the occupied lands. The returnees prayed for mercy on the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the liberation struggle.

It is noteworthy that in Garabagh and East Zangezur, alongside the resettled former IDPs, many individuals are actively involved in various projects aimed at the region's reconstruction. These efforts include professionals working in health, education, culture, tourism, and industry sectors. Approximately 30,000 people employed in energy enterprises are currently residing in these regions, contributing to the ongoing development and revitalization efforts.
