On August 5, Azerbaijan’s State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons held a draw among the families that will be relocated to the city of Fuzuli at the first stage, APA reports.

144 families – 509 people participated in the draw. Until now, those families lived in temporary settlements in the cities of Baku and Sumgayit, in the territory of Absheron district.

The draw aims to ensure objectivity and transparency in the settlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Representatives of displaced families define the exact address of the houses given to them by drawing lots.

The families who participated in the draw will soon be sent to the city of Fuzuli.

They expressed their gratitude to the President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva for the conditions created in the liberated territories and for the attention and care shown to IDPs.
