`The liberated territories are compensation for 600 thousand people
displaced from Azerbaijan, who left their property in Baku, Sumgait,
Shahumyan, Gandzak,' said the head of the Department for Migration,
Refugees and Resettlement Serge Amirkhanyan.

He thinks people who were displaced from Azerbaijan do have the right
to live in the land of their ancestors and revive this land. `Our goal
is to help these people come to live in this land which belongs to
them,' said Mr. Amirkhanyan.

In 2007 the Department for Migration, Refugees and Resettlement is
likely to resettle 210 families in NKR. In 2006 241 families migrated
to Karabakh.

Serge Amirkhanyan, the head of the department says this year 11 houses
will be built for settlers in Askeran, 3 in Shushi, 5 in Martuni, 33
in Martakert, 37 in Shahumyan, 4 in Hadrut. 12 houses will be built
for refugees in Stepanakert, 1 in Askeran, 2 in Martuni, 5 in Hadrut.
