(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 20. A group of 24
travelers and bloggers from 10 countries visited Azerbaijani
territories liberated from Armenian occupation [in the 2020 Second
Karabakh War], including trips to Shusha, Aghdam and Zangilan
districts, Trend reports.
The visitors witnessed Armenian vandalism in these territories,
and also got acquainted with the restoration and construction work
ongoing there at the moment.
Azerbaijani MP Sevinj Huseynova commenting on the trip noted
that such visits have great importance in terms of conveying
Azerbaijani realities to the international community.
'As a result of its historic victory in the Second Karabakh War,
Azerbaijan liberated its lands from Armenian occupation. During the
30 years of occupation, Azerbaijani territories were vandalized,
all infrastructure, cultural and historical monuments were
destroyed, and terror against ecology was committed. All these
facts must be brought to the attention of the international
community. From this point of view, the visit of a group of
travelers and bloggers to the liberated territories is very
important,' the MP said.
She also pointed out that Azerbaijan is carrying out restoration
and construction work in its liberated territories.
'Getting acquainted with the state into which Azerbaijani lands
were turned during the Armenian occupation, and watching
restoration of these lands by Azerbaijan, the foreign visitors saw
the true essence of Armenia and once again became witnesses of how
much peaceful country is Azerbaijan,' Huseynova said.
She pointed out that the liberated lands visited by foreign
travelers have enchanting nature and great opportunities to develop
tourism.
'Certainly, the visit of international travelers plays an
important role in terms of promoting the tourism potential of the
liberated territories,' the MP stressed.
Another MP Azer Badamov also stressed the importance of the
visit of international travelers.
'A group of travelers consisting of 24 people have visited the
liberated territories. By organizing just such trips, it's possible
to convey to information about the crimes of Armenia to the world,”
Badamov said.“The travelers also witnessed the grandiose projects
which have been implemented since the liberation of our lands,
including the 'smart village' concept implemented in Zangilan,
roads and other social infrastructure, the construction of which is
ongoing, the commissioning of the Fuzuli International Airport, the
implementation of grandiose projects in Shusha, the reconstruction
of other regional centers in accordance with the master plan using
the latest technologies.”
The MP also added that the liberated territories have great
potential for tourism development.
'The travelers filmed and shared materials depicting the
mountains of Kalbajar, the natural springs of Istisu, materials
about the restoration of Shusha city on social networks. The
arrival of international travelers also means familiarizing the
world with the tourism potential of our liberated territories. I
believe that the sustainable organization of such trips even more
will increase the number of people interested in visiting our
liberated lands,' added the MP.
