KHANKENDI, Azerbaijan, May 1. Azerbaijan
presents a unique model of recovery and construction, Hikmet
Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the
Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential
Administration, told reporters during the visit of representatives
of the diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan to East Zangezur
and Karabakh, Trend
reports.


"This visit is the 21st visit of the diplomatic corps to the
liberated territories of Azerbaijan, and such visits are regularly
organized on the instructions of President Ilham Aliyev in November
2020, immediately after our lands were liberated from occupation.
The goal here is for the diplomatic corps to familiarize themselves
with the situation in our liberated territories on the spot," the
official said.


He noted that over the past period, the diplomatic corps has
first of all become familiar with the destruction here, that is,
the destruction and devastation committed by Armenia on these lands
during the occupation. They continue to become familiar with the
progress of the transformation, restoration, and construction work
of the territories over the past period.


"Therefore, the impressions of the diplomatic corps during our
visit today are very high. In particular, our visit is currently
continuing in the city of Khankendi, and we began with a visit to
the Khojaly monument and the Khojaly genocide memorial. We visited
various locations in the city of Khankendi, as well as visited
Khankendi University, and got acquainted with the creative and
educational activities of students.


After that, our trip will continue towards the cities of Shusha
and Lachin, and they will be able to see firsthand the restoration
and construction work being done on the ground, the return of
people, and the transformation and reconstruction of Karabakh and
East Zangezur as a whole based on the policy of the head of state,"
he explained.


According to Hajiyev, the opinion of the diplomatic corps and
the international community in general is that Azerbaijan presents
a very unique model and example of reconstruction and construction,
that is, a unique model and example of reconstruction and
construction in post-conflict conditions.


"That is, there is no such experience in any region of the world
in the sense that the Republic of Azerbaijan has carried out such
restoration and construction work in a short period of time, using
its own internal capabilities, its own financial capabilities, and
its own administrative resources," he concluded.
