July 19 marks the first anniversary since the first families settled in the Aghali village of the liberated Zangilan district, Azernews reports.

People who have been longing for that almost 30 years returned to their homeland on this day last year and started living there.

Based on the instructions of President Ilham Aliyev, the first pilot project was implemented in the Aghali village of the Zangilan district in the territories freed from occupation.

In the rebuilt village of Aghali, modern city planning standards such as smart lighting of the streets, construction of warm and cold-resistant ecological houses, and installation of solar panels have been applied. Also, to provide the village with sustainable energy, an Archimedes screw turbine hydropower station was built on the Hakari River. The station, where three generators are installed, has the capacity to fully meet the electricity demand of Aghali village.

ASAN, DOST, Small and Medium Business Development Agency, State Agrarian Development Center services, as well as school, kindergarten, medical center, public catering facilities etc. are operating in the village.

To date, 420 people from 86 families have been relocated to the Aghali village of the Zangilan district. Currently, the houses built in the village are being repaired and once the repair is complete, the further settlement of the families will be carried out.
