Sixty-eight Azerbaijani families who fled the Karabakh conflict have returned to the cities of Kelbajar and Khojavend.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," 27 families returned to Kelbajar at the end of November last year. The total number of families returned to the city has reached 108.

On February 27, a group of internally displaced persons (IDPs) returned to the city of Kelbajar, Oxu.az reports.

At this stage, 27 families (118 people) have returned to the city, all of whom have been provided with apartments in new buildings.

Also on February 27, a group of IDPs returned to the city of Khojavend. This time, 41 families (138 people) are involved.

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

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