UN General Assembly
2023

Having concluded our counter-terror measures, we have now embarked on the practical implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration efforts on the ground. The long-overdue meeting of a special representative of the Government of Azerbaijan with representatives of Armenian residents finally took place on 21 September in the city of Yevlakh. The dialogue will continue as a format for directly discussing the Government’s reintegration plans and addressing issues related to restoring and operating infrastructure and the delivery of humanitarian goods and public services. The central Government institutions have begun rapidly carrying out the necessary humanitarian support measures, and we have mobilized every effort to address the immediate needs of the local civilians. On that point. I want to reiterate that Azerbaijan is determined to reintegrate the ethnic Armenian residents of the Garabagh region as equal citizens. The Constitution, the national legislation of Azerbaijan and the international commitments we have undertaken provide a solid basis for that.
