BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 23. Liberated
Karabakh and East Zangezur are among the main areas of
Azerbaijani-Turkish cooperation, the Deputy Minister of Economy
Samad Bashirli said at the 2nd Azerbaijan-Türkiye Investment Forum
in Baku, Trend
reports.
He noted that these areas are being developed into modern
residential spaces based on the concepts of “smart cities” and
“smart villages.”
The deputy minister noted that these regions have been declared
“green energy” zones:
"The Agdam Industrial Park and the Araz Valley Economic Zone,
which are already in operation, new international airports, rapidly
developing modern transport infrastructure, as well as real
concessions and incentives for business, make these territories
attractive to investors. These territories have high potential in a
wide range of industrial, agricultural, logistics, tourism, and
energy sectors and offer long-term and sustainable investment
opportunities.
Updating infrastructure and creating new capacities to unlock the
green energy potential of Karabakh, Eastern Zangezur, and
Nakhchivan are among our top priorities.
“The participation of Turkish businesses in this process
deserves special attention. The implementation of the project for
the restoration and long-term operation of four small hydropower
plants in the Kalbajar and Lachin regions is an exemplary example
of cooperation in both the energy sector and the field of
sustainable development,” Bashirli noted.
