Many times, when I met with displaced persons from both Lachish and other occupied territories at the time, I gave them heartfelt encouragement, saying we would return and return!

The EPA reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Əliyev made the remarks during a meeting with residents of the circuit in Lachin on May 28.

'If you watch a video of the meeting now 11 years ago, you'll see that we'll come back and more beautiful houses will be built in Lachin. Look, that's what happened. Therefore, conditions must be best for you and for former displaced people like you, to be the most beautiful so that you can live comfortably here after so many painful years. We will try to ensure that we continue to do so," said the head of our government.
