BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 30. The restoration of
Karabakh and East Zangazur is making a significant contribution to
the successful implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), said Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Sahiba Gafarova,

reports.
Speaking at a panel discussion held on July 30 as part of the VI
World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Gafarova said
the revitalization of Azerbaijan’s liberated territories in
Karabakh and East Zangazur, along with the implementation of the
‘Great Return’ program aimed at enabling former internally
displaced persons to return to their native lands, is playing a
vital role in advancing the SDGs.
Alongside the ongoing reconstruction initiatives, over 50,000
individuals are currently engaged in residential, professional, and
academic activities within these locales.
The speaker also noted that landmine contamination remains a
major obstacle to development in the liberated territories. For
this reason, Azerbaijan has adopted “Combating Mine Threats for
Safe Return, Resettlement, Recovery, Prosperity, and Peace” as its
18th national Sustainable Development Goal. Azerbaijan has also
proposed the adoption of this goal at the global level as the 18th
SDG of the United Nations.
In May 2025, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan signed
a decree on the preparation of a new development strategy for
2027-2030, as well as a second phase of the Great Return Program.
The implementation of these documents is expected to further
advance the realization of the SDGs.
