BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 13. The energy potential of the territories of Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur liberated from occupation is being studied, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the groundbreaking ceremony held at the Gulustan Palace in Baku for a 1,280-MW thermal power plant, the largest in Azerbaijan's independence period, Trend reports.
"The relations between Azerenergy and the Italian company Ansaldo play a key role here. I should bring to your attention that the contracts between Azerenergy and Ansaldo were signed immediately after the second Karabakh war.
At a time when large-scale construction and restoration work is going on in the liberated Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, the energy potential of that region is being explored in the first place, and Ansaldo and Azerenergy are working in this direction as part of this partnership," President Ilham Aliyev said.
