He said that within the Great Return Program, the Azerbaijani government is doing huge work on the restoration and rebuilding of the devastated liberated territories.

According to him, the "Health for All” concept is particularly important in terms of ensuring the safe return of former internally displaced persons to their native lands: "We are entering a new era of “Health for All,” which means the active participation of everyone in a responsible way in handling health issues. The "Health for All” definition can’t be accepted as a fundamental obligation addressed only to governments. Citizens should be encouraged to take active participation in healthy lifestyle programs and share health responsibility with the governments."
