OFFICIAL STATEMENT on the resettlement of IDPs from the Refugee Commission

"The liberation of our homeland by our brave army under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Muzaffar Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, has allowed the return of IDPs who have been living in exile for nearly thirty years. In this regard, the statement of the Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons of the Republic of Azerbaijan Fuad Huseynov that IDPs will be returned to their lands on a voluntary basis was misunderstood and caused public discussion. This is stated in a statement issued by the committee.
It was noted that the statement stressed that the vast majority of IDPs are determined to return to their native lands, noting that their safe and dignified return is the only option desired by the IDPs themselves: "As the head of state has repeatedly stated, the return of IDPs to their native lands, the territories inhabited by our people for centuries, is one of the main goals of the struggle against the aggressor and occupier Armenia and the great victory achieved. That is why the IDPs want to return to their homeland, and they have always expressed their determination not only to return, but also to take an active part in the construction of our liberated lands in hundreds of recent appeals to the country's leadership and the State Committee. At present, IDPs have temporarily settled in various places in the country. In particular, more than 300,000 IDPs have been placed in the settlements belonging to the state special housing fund in the settlements built for them. President Ilham Aliyev said during a meeting with servicemen being treated at the Clinical Medical Center No. 1: “Dear former IDPs, you are no longer IDPs. I address them in the presence of our heroic soldiers and officers: You are not an IDP, you are returning. We will get you back. Behold, those sitting here, thousands of our soldiers and officers, are returning you to your native lands. We, the Azerbaijani state, will do our best to return you as soon as possible. " Returning to the liberated lands at the expense of the blood of the heroic sons of our people, reviving and reviving these sacred lands, building new houses and establishing farms there should be considered as the embodiment of the moral duty of our IDP compatriots, their commitment to the motherland and national values.
