In 2020, it ended the 30-year occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia.

As a result, about one million Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs were left homeless and unemployed.

APA's Istanbul correspondent reports that Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Sahiba Gafarova said this during her speech at the Global Parliamentary Conference organized by the Turkish Grand National Assembly and the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

He noted that despite the economic effects of the occupation, the Azerbaijani government has met all their needs: “The liberation of the occupied territories has created new realities and opportunities for peace and development in the region.

The reconstruction work will help reintegrate these territories into the country's economy, while making Karabakh and East Zangazur attractive for tourism, investment and business.
