On May 10, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with residents who relocated to the village of Kengerli in Aghdam district and presented them with house keys.

As reported by AZERTAG, greeting the village residents, President Ilham Aliyev said: Welcome to Kengerli.

Residents: Thank you. You are the hero of today, welcome.

President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you. Congratulations, life is returning to Kengerli, the residents of Kengerli are already returning, this is great happiness, a historic event. Living on the land of ancestors after a long break is, of course, great happiness. I congratulate you on this event.

Residents: Thank you very much, we are grateful.

President Ilham Aliyev: For many years, you lived in difficult conditions - in unsuitable houses, dormitories, kindergartens in various parts of our country, for some time - in tent camps. Today, using the example of this beautiful village, we see a renewing Azerbaijan, a recovering Karabakh. We show that we have always been the owners of these lands, and today it is so. Only the owner of this land builds and creates on this land. The hateful enemy destroyed this entire region. Not a single intact building remained in the Aghdam district. The city, all villages were wiped off the face of the earth. Not only in Aghdam but, one can say, in all territories that were occupied at that time, the Armenian state pursued a deliberate policy so that Azerbaijanis would never return to this region.

They could not calculate this.

All these painful years are behind us. Now you are returning and have returned to your native land, wonderful conditions have been created for you. The village of Kengerli is a feast for the eyes. This is the first stage of restoration, reconstruction of the village. 292 houses are ready, provided at your disposal. More houses will be built in the second stage. There are all conditions. Beautiful houses, electricity, gas, water, sewage system, school, kindergarten, market, medical center, even a market complex - everything is there. Areas for sowing will be allocated. Demining work on some lands has already been completed. I gave instructions that land plots should also be provided to residents. The area of household plots is 12 acres. There, too, you can engage in land cultivation. That is, life is returning, justice has triumphed. This is the triumph of justice. We are witnesses to this.

The city of Aghdam is also already being reborn. This morning I opene
