BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 13. Mount Farrukh, the great mountain of Azerbaijan, is under our control now. The Azerbaijani flag flies there now, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during a meeting dedicated to the results of the first quarter of 2022, Trend reports.
"Notice how many reservoirs there were in the occupied territories. Khudafarin - the largest reservoir with a capacity of 1 billion 600 million cubic meters, Giz Galasi, Sugovushan, Khachin, Kondalanchay-1, Kondalanchay-2, Ashaghi Kondalanchay, Aghdamkand – these reservoirs were under occupation. We are restoring and will restore them. As for specific projects, I should also say what will be done in this area. The construction of the Hakarichay reservoir is on the agenda. It will be a new reservoir. The Sugovushan water reservoir and canal will be renovated. The length of the canal is 5.2 kilometers, and after the repairs, it will be possible to supply water to a larger area from Sugovushan. The Khachinchay reservoir and a 7-kilometer canal will be renovated. I should also note that the Khachinchay reservoir is right under Mount Farrukh, right next to the village of Farrukh, and the Armenian military positions were threatening the operation of this reservoir. In other words, it was a huge source of danger. Shots were repeatedly fired in the direction of Aghdam from there and other villages. I think there is no-one in the world who wouldn’t know of Mount Farrukh, and Mount Farrukh, the great mountain of Azerbaijan, is under our control now. The Azerbaijani flag flies there now. Mount Farrukh is of great importance for the safety of the Khachinchay and the use of this water. After that, we plan to renovate the Ashaghi Kondalanchay, Kondalanchay-1 and Kondalanchay-2 reservoirs. The reconstruction of the Tartarchay Left Bank canal, the water management complex of Aghdam, Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts, as well as identification of water sources is also on the agenda. Because the water sources of the Soviet era may not be suitable now for a number of reasons. Therefore, these complex measures are envisaged now, and the preparation of a project on the Bargushad reservoir must be completed this year. Based on a recently submitted proposal, a new reservoir is to be built in either Zangilan or Gubadli district, and the construction of these canals will allow us the opportunity to irrigate 10,000 hectares of land in the near future. I want to say again that all this work must be integrated into our common water management system," Azerbaijani president said.
"As for other projects, I should say that residents of Aghali village will settle in Aghali already this year. This year, Aghali village will be opened. This is the first pilot project. The establishment of Dovletyarli village of Fuzuli district will begin this year. This is a project that covers several villages. There will be a larger settlement than Aghali village. In other liberated areas, village reconstruction projects are being prepared, so we will restore the villages in parallel with the cities," the head of state said.
