Throughout their time as displaced people, the Azerbaijani government has given them extra attention and care. The strategy line, outlined by the great leader Heydar Aliyev and continued by President Ilham Aliyev, is aimed at improving living conditions, ensuring social protection, and securing the employment of internally displaced people, and it is now being implemented regularly.
