Ilham Aliyev: “Somehow I asked Ali Gasanova …”

“We rightly celebrated the victory in the April battles, as the glorious victory of our army, and our return began from this point in time. Return to Jodzhug Marjanla has become the beginning of the Great Return.” This was stated by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, speaking to the public of the liberated Jabrail district.

“I remember, I once told the chairman of the State Committee on Refugees and the Forced Migrants Ali Gasanov, I have such a thought – to return to the native village of Jodzhug Marjanlas of his inhabitants. At that time, only one family of Khazieva lived there . I said, find out, do they want to return or not? A lot of time has passed, one of them works in Bilasuvar, someone in Baku, they want to return or not? After some time, Ali Hasanov said me that they almost all of them want Return to my native village. It was very happy for me, because at that time there were a lot of discrepancies: if the lands will be released, there will be forced displaced persons or not, many of them, their children and grandchildren and have not seen these places. But this willingness yet Once demonstrated the greatness of our people, “the head of state stressed.
