BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 9. The Almaty SuperSki

The project was reviewed during a meeting on the progress of the
Almaty mountain cluster development.

results, it has been established that the implementation of the
project will not have a negative impact on the environment,” he
said.

concrete results. At the same time, special attention must be paid
