July 13, Fineko/abc.az. We have already started the reconstruction of the liberated territories. We are applying the modern urban planning there. The liberated territories of Azerbaijan will become a green energy zone.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated about this at an interim conference of Foreign Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The country’s leader expressed confidence that Azerbaijan will demonstrate a rare experience in transforming destroyed vast territories, which is four times bigger than the territory of Luxembourg, to the area of prosperity with high living standards.

“Recently, I defined the Five National Priorities on socio-economic development of the country for the next 10 years. The return of hundreds of thousands of IDPs to their homeland in dignity and safety is, among others, our key priority. However, the main challenge is the mines planted by Armenia in large quantities. Since the signing of the capitulation act by Armenia on 10 November 2020, almost 30 Azerbaijani citizens were killed and around 100 citizens were wounded. Furthermore, it slows down the reconstruction process in liberated territories and return of IDPs to their homes,” the president underlined.
