MINSK, Belarus, April 7. The new agreement
between the Minsk and Ganja automobile plants is expected to
further contribute to the development of economic relations between
Azerbaijan and Belarus, Khanlar Fatiyev, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of the Ganja Automobile Plant Production
Association and Member of Parliament, told Trend.


Fatiyev made the remarks during the signing ceremony of an
agreement on the assembly of a new batch of municipal vehicles (100
units) based on the chassis of the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) at
the Ganja Automobile Plant.


The agreement was signed as part of the implementation of
instructions given by President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and
President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus during the Belarusian
leader’s state visit to Azerbaijan.


“Cooperation between the Ganja Automobile Plant and the Minsk
Automobile Plant began after President Ilham Aliyev visited Belarus
in 2006. At that time, instructions were given to initiate
collaboration with Belarusian partners. To date, nearly 15,000
tractors and about 4,000 MAZ vehicles have been produced, and we
continue to expand this partnership. On March 2, the first batch of
municipal vehicles produced within this cooperation was presented
to President Ilham Aliyev. The high assessment given by the head of
state served as a strong incentive to further deepen this
productive cooperation. Within the framework of agreements reached
by our heads of state in Shusha to jointly assemble municipal
vehicles, we are now in Minsk signing the relevant agreement. The
equipment we produce meets modern quality standards and market
requirements and is used across all cities of Azerbaijan,” Fatiyev
said.







The document was signed jointly with Valery Ivankovich, General
Director of MAZ OJSC.


Municipal vehicles produced under the cooperation between the
Ganja Automobile Plant and MAZ are equipped with modern systems
developed and assembled in Ganja. They are designed to service
urban infrastructure throughout the country and contribute to the
modernization of Azerbaijan’s municipal fleet.
