KHANKENDI, Azerbaijan, May 1. We can see how
intensively Karabakh is developing and how large-scale
infrastructure projects are being implemented, Ambassador of
Belarus to Azerbaijan Dmitry Pinevich told journalists during a
visit to East Zangezur and Karabakh, Trend reports.
"Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to visit here regularly
for some time now and observe how intensively Karabakh is
developing and how large-scale infrastructure projects are being
realized. We fly into different parts of the region - for example,
Fuzuli, where we see a magnificent airport - and we arrive via
modern highways. It is obvious that infrastructure, transport, and
energy facilities are being actively built, and industrial zones
are being created. We are currently in Khankendi, where a powerful
educational project, the Karabakh University, is being
implemented," he said.
Pinevich emphasized that it is very important that today's trip
began with a visit to the memorial of the Khojaly tragedy.
"This reflects the symbolism of the 'Great Return' program. The
memory of a people is its future, and we see its embodiment here
today," he added.
The visit of representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited
in Azerbaijan to East Zangezur and Karabakh has commenced on May
1.
The delegation is accompanied by Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to
the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs
Department of the Presidential Administration.
More than 150 ambassadors, diplomats, military attaches, and
other representatives from 62 countries and international
organizations are taking part in the trip.
The two-day visit covers the city of Khankendi, as well as the
Khojaly, Shusha, and Lachin districts.
During the visit, the participants will get acquainted on the
spot with the reconstruction and restoration work being carried out
in the region and visit facilities of social and economic
importance.
