Azerbaijani gov't ready for processes to follow peace treaty: deputy PM

"The negotiations regarding the conflict have recently intensified. Some progress has already been felt in the talks. We all are waiting for the signing of a peace treaty," Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons Ali Hasanov said.

Hasanov said the Repatriation Program finished a year ago. "The program has been coordinated with international organizations, embassies, international financial institutions, all ministries and committees."

The program reflects all the stages, he said. "The first phase of repatriation on all directions would not be possible. Repatriation will start in one direction due to the mine sweep. Then we will reach these territories and determine the damage caused to the infrastructure of the territory. Two years ago, the damage was estimated at $60 billion," Hasanov said.

Alongside with the rehabilitation of infrastructure, news jobs will also be created, he said.

"Later people will settle down in these areas. There are not any problems related to this process. We are only waiting for the signing of a peace treaty," Hasanov said.
