February 19, Fineko/abc.az. “Of course, it is the duty of our state to create the best conditions for people who spent years longing for their homeland,” said President Ilham Aliyev during his meeting with a group of residents who had relocated to Ballija village in the Khojaly district.

“This is my primary duty as President today. We put an end to the occupation. In 2023, as a result of the anti-terror operation, we liberated this region from occupation as well. Ballija and hundreds of other settlements are completely free of the occupiers, and we are now restoring life there. In other words, we are doing everything in stages and by ourselves. No one helps us. We are using our own capabilities, relying on our own strength and the capabilities of the Azerbaijani people. All restoration and construction efforts are carried out at the expense of the state and in a short period of time,” the head of state emphasized.
