(MENAFN- AzerNews) By trend
Azerbaijan's Lachin district is of considerable strategic and
economic importance, Ph.D. in Economics Khalid Karimli told
trend on December 1.
'Before the occupation, the district's population was mainly
engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. The land is full of
raw material deposits for building materials, mountain rivers that
are sources of energy, mineral water sources, and tourist sites,'
Karimli said.
The expert noted that the government is currently engaged in
clearing liberated lands from explosive mines and unexploded
ordnance, as well as establishing new infrastructure.
'For 30 years of occupation, Armenia has committed large-scale
destruction in Azerbaijan's Karabakh. Currently, the country is
taking action to bring these areas back to their former economic
state, and implement an effective and sustainable settlement. The
Lachin Airport construction will give a great impetus to the
development of the region,' Karimli added.
December 1, 2022 marks two years since the liberation of
Azerbaijan's Lachin district from the Armenian occupation.
According to the trilateral statement, signed by Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev, Russian President Vladimir Putin and
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on November 10, 2020, the
Lachin district was returned to Azerbaijan on December 1.
