The last three refugee camps in Azerbaijan's central Saatly and Sabirabad districts were abolished on Monday. Their residents are being moved to a new settlement constructed in the Zobujul settlement of the Fuzuli district, the State Committee on Work with Refugees and IDPs said.
A total of 2,150 IDPs, mainly from Jabrayil and Fuzuli districts, had been settled in the refugee camps.
Suitable conditions have been provided for IDPs in the new settlement, as one-, two-, three- and four-room apartments were built and additional yards and arable land allocated. The settlement was supplied with gas and electricity.
About a million Azerbaijanis displaced from Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh and adjacent districts in the wake of the Armenian aggression had been settled in refugee camps across Azerbaijan. All IDPs have been gradually relocated to new settlements built on account of the funds allotted from the state oil fund SOFAR.
President Ilham Aliyev had vowed to abolish refugee camps throughout the country while campaigning for the 2003 election.
