"Azerbaijan must accelerate restoration of student hostels"

It is necessary to accelerate restoring hostels for students, arriving from different regions of Azerbaijan to receive higher education, MP Ganira Pashayeva said at a meeting of the Azerbaijani Parliament.

"Once, the accommodation of people, who have become refugees and internally displaced people as a result of Armenian occupation, was the most important task. Then we could not talk about this problem. Now the country has better conditions. Houses are being built for refugees and displaced people upon the Azerbaijani President's order," she added.

Pashayeva said that it would be very nice if houses had been built for displaced people, residing in the dormitories of universities, and they had been resettled. It would diminish problems of students [from regions].

"There are students coming from different regions of Azerbaijan. They are from poor families. They have problems because they can not afford to rent housing," she said.

Pashayeva said that a very important point is to increase mortgage granted to the military and young people engaged in science and providing young families with houses.

"It is necessary to mitigate conditions of the mortgage and expand its issuance by regions," she said.

Finance Minister Samir Sharifov said during a meeting of the Azerbaijani parliament that student hostels will be repaired soon.
