Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is on a working visit to
Germany, Azernews reports.
Addressing heads of leading German companies in Berlin,
President Ilham Aliyev stressed priorities of Azerbaijan in
reconstruction of liberated areas of Karabakh and Eastern
Zangazur.
“Among our main future plans, of course, is reconstruction of
liberated areas of Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur, which were under
occupation for almost 30 years. Now the territory of the size of
the Lebanon is totally in ruins,” President said.
The head of state also noted the start-up of the pilot project
within the state program called Big Return.
“So, we already started the state program, which is called the
Big Return. We elaborated already a program. We have already
implemented the first pilot project and resettled more than 400
former refugees within only one year and a half following the war
ended. And our plan is to resettle hundreds of thousands of former
refugees. Because, as a result of Armenian occupation, we had more
than 1 million internally displaced people and people who became
refugees.”
