"You are being appointed as Special Representative of the President in Zangilan district. I congratulate you and wish you success. A lot of confidence is being placed in you, and you have to live up to this confidence with your work," said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he received in a video format Vahid Hajiyev due to his appointment as Special Representative of the President in Zangilan district, which is included in East Zangazur economic region, APA reports.

The head of the state said that Zangilan district, like other liberated districts, has suffered great destruction: "Armenian occupying forces have practically razed Zangilan district to the ground. There is only one or two buildings left in Zangilan, and these were used by Armenian occupiers, the military. There is not a single surviving village, all villages of Zangilan district have been destroyed. This once again shows the ugly face of Armenian vandalism to the whole world. It shows yet again that the Azerbaijani people and the Azerbaijani Army have saved our region from a great scourge – Armenian fascism.

At the same time, all our historical and religious sites in Zangilan district were destroyed by Armenians. We have already started the restoration of our historical and religious sites. With the financial support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Zangilan city mosque is now being overhauled. As a matter of fact, it is being reconstructed because there was only one wall left of this mosque. The bitter landscape of Zangilan is observed in all other liberated lands.

We will restore all the liberated lands, and Zangilan is the first district in this respect where the former IDPs will return to in the near future. As you know, the first pilot project is being implemented in the village of Aghali of Zangilan district. Aghali village is actually being reconstructed, it will be a large and comfortable village. Every citizen of Azerbaijan and, in general, every person can see our plans in the example of Aghali village. How do we want to see our liberated lands? What conditions do we want to create for the people who will return there? Everyone will see that we will do our work in a planned and systematic manner. All factors will be taken into account – security, comfort, well-being, employment, and future development."
