(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 22 . On October 20, the
next visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the
Karabakh region of Azerbaijan took place. The joint participation
of the leaders of the two fraternal countries - President Ilham
Aliyev and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - in the opening ceremony
of the Zangilan International Airport, the first stage of the
Agropark Dost smart agriculture complex in Zangilan, the laying of
the foundation of the Gumlag railway station in the Jabrayil
district and other official events has become another indicator of
Azerbaijani-Turkish unity.
The Zangilan airport is extremely important from both an
economic and a strategic point of view, being the 'air gate' of
Zangezur. Against the backdrop of new realities created by
Azerbaijan after the 44-day Patriotic War, all plans are being
consistently implemented.
Even more extensive work will be done for the complete
restoration of Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur.
After the 44-day Patriotic War, intensive restoration and
construction work is being carried out in the territories liberated
from occupation under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev.
A lot of work has been done as part of the first stage of the
Agropark Dost project, the foundation of which was laid with the
participation of the leaders of the two fraternal countries a year
ago. 'Agropark Dost' is the first private agricultural complex
created by Turkish and Azerbaijani investors in the Karabakh and
Zangezur regions.
At the first stage of the project, administrative buildings,
closed-type livestock complexes with an area of 5,200 square meters
and an open type of 113,000 square meters, social facilities, a
cafe, a cinema, a recreation area, a swimming pool, and buildings
for staff accommodation were built. 3,500 heads of cattle have been
brought into the complex, and the production of agricultural
products has begun. Harvesting of wheat and barley sown last year
in the presence of the presidents of the two countries has been
completed. Works on the second and third stages of 'Agropark Dost'
will also continue at a high pace. As a result of the completion of
all stages of the project, plots for the production of crop
products and technical plots, livestock plots for growing 10,000
head of cattle, as well as plots for the production of seeds and
seedlings will be created on an area of 6,000 hectares.
Azerbaijani-Turkish unity contributes to the high pace of
restoration and construction work in the territories liberated from
Armenian occupation. Building from scratch cities and villages on
the lands of the country destroyed by vandals, as well as the
construction of two international airports, hundreds of kilometers
of roads, modern infrastructure and 'smart' settlements in just two
years is not an easy task. With the support of fraternal Türkiye,
Azerbaijan is adequately coping with this mission. Today, the
Azerbaijani-Turkish unity can also be seen in the rapidly
recovering Karabakh and Zangezur. Azerbaijan's main goal is
sustainable peace, and at every stage of this process, it feels the
support of fraternal Türkiye.
