Residential complexes and settlements with the necessary infrastructure are built and put into use, thousands of internally displaced families are provided with new houses and apartments every year. The First Vice President Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva keeps the issue of the relocation of IDPs who are still living under severe conditions, in damaged and useless buildings in Baku and Sumgait to new apartments in the first place under control, and the instructions are constantly implemented. According to the relevant Clause of the Annexes approved by the Decree dated on February 21, 2011 of the State Program approved by the Decree dated on July 1, 2004 of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the apartments in 4 five-storey buildings built for 300 families under the second stage in Umid settlement of Garadagh district will be given to IDP living in severe conditions. Last year, mainly the IDPs living under the most severe conditions in Baku were relocated to “Gobu Park” residential complex built at the expense of local entrepreneurship entities within the framework of corporate social responsibility measures at the initiative of Heydar Aliyev Foundation in Lokbatan settlement of the region. Currently, the construction of “Gobu Park-2” residential complex is underway in this area. Relocation to apartments in new residential complexes put into use at the end of the last year in Absheron and Sumgait will also be carried out in the same manner, within the conditions of justice and transparency.
