From devastation to development: Azerbaijan’s rebuilding efforts in liberated territories
Azerbaijan’s post-war reconstruction efforts in Garabagh and Eastern Zangezur represent one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects in modern history. Following the Second Garabagh War in 2020, the government embarked on a large-scale initiative to rebuild cities and villages that had been completely destroyed during nearly three decades of occupation. This process is not just about physical reconstruction—it is a strategic effort to reintegrate these territories into Azerbaijan’s economic and social fabric, ensuring the return of displaced communities and fostering long-term stability.
At the heart of this effort is a commitment to sustainable development, modern urban planning, and smart infrastructure. The reconstruction plans emphasize green energy, innovative city design, and economic revitalization to transform war-ravaged areas into thriving urban centers. With massive investments in transportation, industry, agriculture, and tourism, Azerbaijan is laying the foundation for a prosperous and resilient future in the liberated territories.
Aghdam, once known as the “Hiroshima of the Caucasus” due to its complete devastation, has become a focal point of these reconstruction efforts. The city’s revival symbolizes Azerbaijan’s determination to rebuild not only homes and infrastructure but also the lives and aspirations of those returning. The redevelopment of Aghdam and its surrounding villages, such as Sarijali, reflects a broader national strategy—one that combines historical justice with economic foresight, turning destruction into opportunity.
