'Within the visit, President Ilham Aliyev laid the foundation for the Kalbajar complex of occupation and victory museums, the Kalbajar digital control center, a water production plant in the Kalbajar district, and got acquainted with the progress of other construction works,” the MP reminded.“The head of state also laid the foundation for the Istisu medical and recreation complex, which is planned to be built on an area of 34 hectares. This complex will be able to receive 300 people per day, and also its creation will contribute to a wide tourist inflow.”

“As part of the visit, President Ilham Aliyev got acquainted with the construction of tunnels built in areas with difficult terrain, which will be important for both the civilians and the military servicemen, as well as in terms of defense,” Mammadov said.“Besides, the head of state got acquainted with the progress of the construction of an airport in the Lachin district, which is important for ensuring the convenience of travel to the Lachin and Kalbajar districts and the development of these territories as a tourist zone.”

“All this indicates that the work carried out in Karabakh and East Zangazur is under the direct control of the head of state. Soon Karabakh and East Zangazur will rank among the most comfortable and beautiful regions of Azerbaijan,' added the MP.

Guliyev noted that each statement of the president of Azerbaijan during these trips, and the commissioning of each new facility have a special meaning and significance.

'The opening of the second commando military unit in Kalbajar after the end of the second Karabakh war is a message in itself. Namely, Kalbajar the head of state conveyed the message that the security and defense of the territories of Azerbaijan are being organized in a completely new capacity, and if Armenia tries to behave as before, it will face heavy consequences of this,” the expert said.“Another important message is that Azerbaijan has taken all the favorable positions along the border [with Armenia], and the military commando units will be further opened. These statements by the Azerbaijani president should be a serious warning to the revanchist forces in Armenia.'
