Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov spoke at the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
He stated that the occupation of territories and mass displacement created serious challenges for the country.
Deportation from Armenia and displacement from occupied lands generated huge social pressure.
The minister noted that the population grew from 7 million to 10 million since independence.
One in eight people was a refugee or internally displaced person.
Since 2003, economic stability allowed eliminating temporary camps for IDPs.
Since 2020, the "Great Return" process has begun, with people returning to their homelands.
