According to Shahbazov, by instructions of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, the concept of a "green" energy zone in Karabakh and East Zangazur has already been developed and is being implemented.

All the documents signed today are intended for the implementation of a number of projects in Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur, as well as in all regions of the country.
