BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. Infrastructure development in Garabagh and East Zangezur is accompanied by the provision of modern social services in residential settlements, President Ilham Aliyev said in a message to the participants of the 6th Azerbaijan International Restoration, Reconstruction and Development of Garabagh Exhibition – “Rebuild Garabagh.”
"Forty educational institutions and 20 healthcare facilities, as well as Garabagh University in Khankendi, have commenced operations in the region. The coverage of government, banking, postal and telecommunications services is also expanding. The administrative centers built and commissioned in Lachin, Zangilan, Fuzuli and Aghdam enable the provision of social security, employment and other services to residents under one roof.
Infrastructure development is complemented by efforts to restore the historical and cultural identity of Garabagh and East Zangezur. The restoration of historical, cultural and religious monuments destroyed or damaged during the occupation, together with the development of modern tourism infrastructure, helps preserve the region’s rich heritage, revive its cultural and spiritual life, and realize its tourism potential.
The revitalization of the region also involves addressing the environmental consequences of the occupation. During the occupation, 54,300 hectares of forestland were destroyed, and land and water resources were polluted. To date, 600 hectares of forestland have been restored. The restoration of forests and aquatic ecosystems, along with the application of climate-resilient construction solutions, is particularly important for the region’s long-term development," the address notes.
Meanwhile, Caspian Construction Week, covering construction, the reconstruction of Garabagh, engineering and utility systems, the plastics and polymer industry, road infrastructure and public transport, has opened in Baku.
