President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan visited the village of Shushakand in the Khojaly district on September 14.

Elchin Yusubov, the President’s Special Representative in the city of Khankendi and in Aghdara and Khojaly districts, briefed the head of state on the progress of restoration and development work in the village.

Shushakand returned under Azerbaijan’s control two years ago during an anti-terrorist operation carried out by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

To date, several projects have been implemented to improve the village’s social infrastructure, with further development efforts ongoing. Existing electricity lines, three water reservoirs, and a subartesian well have been restored. A transformer has been installed, meter installation has begun, a gas pipeline has been laid, and the existing drinking water network has been repaired. Additionally, the design for communication lines has been approved, and preparatory work is underway. A flag square has been established, and internal village roads have been paved with asphalt.

Shushakand has a total of 263 private homes, of which 91 are uninhabitable and 172 are partially habitable. Currently, 15 homes are ready for occupancy. By the end of this year, an additional 85 homes are slated for restoration. In 2026, plans call for the restoration of 72 more homes. So far, 15 families, totaling 59 individuals, have resettled in the village.

The head of state visited the home of Zaur Rzayev, who recently relocated to the village, and spoke with his family members.
