The Karabakh Revival Fund and the Azerbaijani community in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan are interested in collaborating to contribute to the restoration in the liberated territories. 

This interest was expressed during a meeting between Tural Ganjaliyev the leader of the Azerbaijani community in the Nagorno-Karabakh region (hereinafter referred to as the Community) and Rahman Hajiyev the Chairman of the Executive Board of the Karabakh Revival Fund (hereinafter referred to as the Fund). 

The meeting took place on March 11 at the office of the Community with the participation of the organization's staff. Aybaniz Ismayilova the Director of the Community's International Relations Department, Ahmed Mahmudov the Director of the Media and Communication Department, writer and publicist Maqsad Nur, and others were present at the meeting. 

During the meeting, the leader and Community representatives discussed various projects the organization implemented in recent years. Among these projects are initiatives aimed at bringing the realities of the Armenian occupation to the attention of the international community, as well as efforts to popularize the history of Karabakh among local and foreign audiences. 

Tural Ganjaliyev also spoke about the situation of the Khankendi electorate, the Community's expectations in the post-war period, and the desire to return to the ancestral lands as soon as possible. 

According to the leader of the Community, representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora are also ready to participate in projects with the Community and the Karabakh Revival Fund. 

"We will also try to support this partnership from our side," he said. 

The Chairman of the Executive Board of the Fund Rahman Hajiyev, spoke to the participants about the ongoing work related to the establishment of the organization's relevant structures and the goals and objectives set by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, before the Fund. 

"One of the main tasks before the Fund is to attract donations and grants to the relevant projects aimed at the revival of Karabakh," he said. 

According to him, in the near future, the Fund's strategic and activity plans will be developed and prepared. Rahman Hajiyev stated that the Fund will implement various projects within its activities, including projects aimed at the restoration of Karabakh's material values, attracting investments, and developing human capital. 

"President Aliyev has repeatedly emphasized the importance of developing human capital in his speeches. The Fund will pay special attention to this direction by evaluating the President's statements as directives. Because the success of any initiative, especially such a grand initiative as the restoration and reintegration of the liberated territories, depends on the determination of people," said R. Hajiyev. 

As the Chairman of the Executive Board of the Fund, one of the institution's responsibilities is to promote the process of attracting investments to the Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan, develop public-private sector partnerships, and disseminate information about the historical realities of Karabakh and the damages caused by Armenian occupation, as well as the restoration process of this region among the local and international communities. 

During the meeting, it was noted that all projects implemented in Karabakh, based on the directive of the head of state, will meet the highest international standards. 

President Ilham Aliyev's remarks about turning the liberated territories of the country into platforms for the implementation of advanced concepts such as "green energy" zones, "smart cities" and "smart villages" were highlighted as examples. 

The participants of the meeting agreed on the continuation of business communication and the regular organization of such meetings.
