BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 25. This was also
reflected in the discussions of the World Urban Forum recently held
in Baku—large-scale urbanization, meaning the influx from rural
areas to cities. This is a negative trend inherent not only to our
country but to all countries, President Ilham Aliyev said at a
meeting dedicated to agricultural issues,
Trend reports.
Noting that some countries have been unable to find the means or
develop the right strategy to address this issue, the head of state
said: “We, however, must ensure that a process of return from
cities to rural areas begins. For this to happen, of course, the
differences between rural and urban areas across all sectors must
be reduced.”
