BAKU, Azerbaijan, Apr. 26
Trend:
We will open a railway to Nakhchivan, as well as a highway, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the visit to Jabrayil and Zangilan districts together with First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva and their daughter Leyla Aliyeva, Trend reports..
“There was a railway station there. After the first Karabakh war, the Armenians demolished the entire railway. They sold some of the rails and built anti-tank fortifications from others. We will now build the railway again. This work has begun. Some time ago, I laid the foundation stone of the Horadiz-Aghband railway in Horadiz settlement. This railway will connect the main part of Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through the Zangazur corridor,” the head of state said.
“In fact, Zangilan district is geographically located in the East Zangazur district, and we will connect East Zangazur with West Zangazur and open a railway to Nakhchivan, as well as a highway,” the head of state said.
First Vice-President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva has shared video footage from the visit on her official Instagram account.
