    Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister, chairman of the State Committee
    on Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov met vice-president of the Iranian
    Red Crescent Society for health, treatment and rehabilitation Afshin
    Alikhani on August 6, AzerTag state news agency reported.

    They discussed prospects for development of bilateral relations
    between Azerbaijan and Iran, as well as the Armenia-Azerbaijan
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    Hasanov hailed expansion of religious, historic and cultural relations
    between the two countries.

    He said the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran
    implements various humanitarian projects in Azerbaijan.

    Hasanov has also briefed Afshin Alikhani on the history of the
    Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as work done in
    the country towards settlement of social problems of refugees and IDPs.

    He noted as a result of Armenia`s military aggression, Azerbaijan
    has lost 20% of its territories, including the Nagorno-Karabakh and
    seven surrounding regions, and more than million Azerbaijanis became
    refugees and IDPs.

    "Today Azerbaijan is able to liberate its territories by any means,"
    he added.

    The Committee chairman also spoke of work done by President Ilham
    Aliyev and international organizations to improve social and living
    conditions of refugees and IDPs.

    "82 modern settlements have been laid for refugees and IDPs. 160.000
    refugees and IDPs have been accommodated in these settlements. These
    works are intensively continuing," he said, noting that President
    Ilham Aliyev has determined the strategic directions of the country
    until 2020. "The Development Concept "Azerbaijan 2020: A Look into the
    Future" intends liquidation of poverty, pulling down the dependence of
    economy from oil, carrying out protection of human rights in Azerbaijan
    to international standards, maximum strengthening of combat against
    corruption and other issues."

    Hasanov noted Azerbaijan, which has more than a million refugees now
    is in a period of development, as well as hosts international events
    and forums. Azerbaijan became a tolerant country in the world.

    There is a tolerant approach between the representatives of various
    nations and religions living in Azerbaijan.

    Alikhani, in turn, hailed existing relations between the two countries.

    He said Iran was very glad with Azerbaijan`s achievements.

    The Iranian delegation was presented with video CDs and books
    reflecting ethnic cleansing policy against Azerbaijanis in Armenia
    and hard results of occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenian
    armed forces.

    The Iranian delegation, then, visited hostel of the Baku College of
    management and technology. They met with refugees from Aghdam region,
    members of martyr`s family Zumrud Guliyeva and Gandab Samadova. The
    refugees said they always wish to return their homeland.

    The delegation, led by Afshin Alikhani has also visited new block
    for 1440 refugee families laid at the Mushfigabad settlement of the
    Garadagh region.

    Here, they have visited refugee from Aghdam region Nazila Taghiyeva`s
    apartment. Taghiyeva expressed gratitude to the Azerbaijani President
    for created condition for them.

    The Iranian delegation has also visited secondary school of Aghdam
    region. They were informed that the 1300-man school was equipped with
    modern educational technologies.
