Another convoy of families has departed for the village of Shukurbayli in the Jabrayil district as part of the ongoing repatriation process.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons confirmed that this latest stage of the resettlement program involves 9 families, totaling 52 individuals.
The returning residents had previously been living in temporary accommodations across various regions of Azerbaijan, primarily in dormitories, sanatoriums, and administrative buildings. This return is part of the broader state-led "Great Return" program, which aims to restore life and infrastructure in the liberated territories of Garabagh and East Zangezur.
The "Great Return" program is a strategic initiative by the government of Azerbaijan to facilitate the voluntary, safe, and dignified return of former internally displaced persons to their ancestral lands. Following the liberation of these territories in 2020, the state has been actively engaged in large-scale reconstruction, demining operations, and the construction of modern residential infrastructure to ensure sustainable living conditions for the returning population.
