20 Azerbaijani families have returned to the village of Mammadbeyli.

Members of 20 Azerbaijani families who fled during the Karabakh conflict returned to the village of Mammadbeyli in the Zangilan district today.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 24, 2025, 144 members of 30 families of former internally displaced persons (IDPs) returned to the village of Mammadbeyli in the Zangilan district.

Today, 20 families (103 people) of former internally displaced persons were resettled to the village of Mammadbeyli in the Zangilan district, APA reports.

These people previously temporarily lived in various parts of the country, mainly in dormitories, sanatoriums, and administrative buildings, Report writes today.

As a reminder, on September 19-20, 2023, Azerbaijan conducted large-scale military operations and took control of the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, which began a mass exodus of the Armenian population. By October 7, 2023, 100,632 internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh had arrived in Armenia, and by September 2024, only 14 Armenians remained in the region. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report entitled "The Beginning and End of the Unrecognized Republic of Artsakh".

Azerbaijani IDPs complained about the difficulties of returning to Karabakh. In particular, they noted a shortage of jobs in Fizuli. People are looking for opportunities to return to their homelands, but property issues in the territories under Azerbaijani control have not yet been resolved, the IDPs noted.

Azerbaijani analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" pointed out that simply providing housing to IDPs returning to their cities is not enough. The authorities must create jobs and build infrastructure, they emphasized.
