BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. Infrastructure
development in Garabagh and East Zangezur is accompanied by the
provision of modern social services in residential settlements,
President Ilham Aliyev said in a message to the participants of the 6th Azerbaijan
International Restoration, Reconstruction and Development of
Garabagh Exhibition – “Rebuild Garabagh.”
"Forty educational institutions and 20 healthcare facilities, as
well as Garabagh University in Khankendi, have commenced operations
in the region. The coverage of government, banking, postal and
telecommunications services is also expanding. The administrative
centers built and commissioned in Lachin, Zangilan, Fuzuli and
Aghdam enable the provision of social security, employment and
other services to residents under one roof.
Infrastructure development is complemented by efforts to restore
the historical and cultural identity of Garabagh and East Zangezur.
The restoration of historical, cultural and religious monuments
destroyed or damaged during the occupation, together with the
development of modern tourism infrastructure, helps preserve the
region’s rich heritage, revive its cultural and spiritual life, and
realize its tourism potential.
The revitalization of the region also involves addressing the
environmental consequences of the occupation. During the
occupation, 54,300 hectares of forestland were destroyed, and land
and water resources were polluted. To date, 600 hectares of
forestland have been restored. The restoration of forests and
aquatic ecosystems, along with the application of climate-resilient
construction solutions, is particularly important for the region’s
long-term development," the address notes.
Meanwhile, Caspian Construction Week, covering construction, the
reconstruction of Garabagh, engineering and utility systems, the
plastics and polymer industry, road infrastructure and public
transport, has opened in Baku.
Held at the Baku Expo Center from October 14 to 16, the event

international exhibition dedicated to road infrastructure and
public transport.
Caspian Construction Week serves as a platform for companies
from various industries to showcase their products and solutions,
bring together sector representatives and establish professional
contacts. Its scope ranges from construction materials and heating
and ventilation equipment to solutions for the reconstruction of
Garabagh, plastics and polymers, road infrastructure and public
transport.
The exhibitions provide Azerbaijani and international companies
with opportunities to present their products and technologies, keep
up with market developments and discuss potential partnerships.
Alongside the exhibition displays, the program includes panel
discussions, innovation sessions and business presentations on a
range of topics.
Bilateral business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government

government bodies.
