Residents of liberated Aghdere district return to their villages

The first returnees arrived today in four villages of Azerbaijan's Aghdere district. They thanked the republic's leadership for creating all the conditions for their return.

Today, a group of 337 people, expelled from their homes over 30 years ago during the Karabakh War, arrived from Azerbaijan's Tartar district to the Aghdere district, liberated from Armenian occupation 5 years ago. People who had been internally displaced since the early 1990s have returned to their homeland in four villages of the Aghdere district.

These villages are Ashagi Oratag, Heyvali, Chapar, and Cyldiran, which are welcoming returnees for the first time after the complete reconstruction of housing and infrastructure. Like other cities and villages in the liberated Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions, they were rebuilt from scratch under Azerbaijan's 1st state program, the Great Return.
