The purpose of the study - consists of assessment of the situation and  to identify measures and prepare proposals for socio-economic development of the agricultural sector in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan as a result of Armenian aggression for 30 years which has been liberated by our victorious army.

The methodology of the research - is based on the analysis of a number of consistent and systematic relations, the measures taken by the country after Azerbaijan gained independence, the creation of a legal framework that will lead the country from recession to dynamic development.

The practical importance of the research - the main provisions of the study and substantiated proposals can be used in preparing socio-economic development programs and measures on the liberated territories.

The results of the research - using the positive experience gained in Azerbaijan for the socio-economic development of the liberated territories, it is possible to achieve the development of agricultural production in Karabakh on the basis of new techniques and technologies. As a result of the implementation of the suggested proposals, modern agraricultural production and processing enterprises and specialized cooperatives can be established on these territories.

The originality and scientific novelty of the research - the article examines the development of Azerbaijan agricultural sector in the liberated territories taking into account three interrelated factors:

firstly, Azerbaijan regained its independence in 1991 and long-standing economic ties were broken;

secondly, in 1988-1993, Armenian invaders occupied 20 percent of our territories. As a result, more than a million of our compatriots became displaced and refugees in the country. They were forced to settle in more than 60 districts and villages;

thirdly, in 1994-1995, agraricultural reforms began to be implemented without any experience or legal framework. Long-established forms of economy were abolished, lands and properties were distributed to producers. And enterprises, factories, mills, and service organizations were privatized. Emphasizing the importance of taking these factors into account and benefiting from the positive experience gained, the author made practical proposals by developing target programs and projects based on concrete facts.
