We are currently implementing a pilot project, which will probably be implemented in a few months in one of the villages of Zangilan district, first of all, about 200 families will return there in the spring of this year.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with the heads of Russia's leading media outlets on February 23 at the TASS news agency.

The head of state noted that there was no place to return, because, firstly, everything was destroyed and secondly, everywhere was mined. In the first few months, despite Vladimir Putin's calls, Prime Minister Pashinyan insisted that they did not have mine maps. This was a lie, and we knew they had a map of mined areas. A few months later, they admitted that such maps did exist. but they refused to give them to us. In fact, they grossly violated international humanitarian law and sentenced the refugees you are talking about to death, because people waited 30 years, it was impossible to prevent everyone, to set up checkpoints on every road. people pass by, go, want to find at least the ruins of their homes, and they die.
