The government of Azerbaijan has already approved a plan on construction of new settlement in the liberated Jojug Marjanli village of the Jabrayil region.

Chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov announced on February 13 that the construction work will soon be launched.

Hasanov, addressing a meeting with heads of construction companies that will be involved in the construction of the new settlement, said at the initial stage, the work will include construction of 50 private houses, a school building for 96 pupils, and relevant infrastructure.

The project provides for construction of 20 two-room, 25 three-room, and five four-room houses. Moreover, the settlement will be provided with new roads, electricity, gas and water supply and other necessary infrastructure.

More than 190 families out of 400 families, who once lived in the village, have already expressed desire to return to their homeland.  Firstly, only 50 families out of 190 will be settled in this village at the first stage.

The heads of construction companies, in turn, stressed that they will use all opportunities for timely and quality completion of the construction of houses, schools, communication lines and other technical infrastructure in the settlement.

In late January, President Ilham Aliyev ordered to restore Jojug Marjanli village in Jabrayil region of Azerbaijan, which was liberated from the Armenian occupation in April 2016 as a result of a successful counter-attack of the Azerbaijani Army.

Under the order, 4 million manats were allocated from the President`s 2017 Contingency Fund to the State Committee on Deals of Refugees and IDPs for the construction of 50 private houses, a school building and relevant infrastructure at the first stage.

Moreover, President Aliyev signed an order on additional measures to construct the road leading to the liberated Jojug Marjanli village and allocated 4.3 million manats from the state budget for the construction of 9 km long highway in the village.
