Design work has begun on the construction of another highway in the territories liberated from the occupation, Eurasia Diary reports citing Trend on Nov.30.
Spokesman for the State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads (former Azeravtoyol OJSC) Anar Najafli has talked about it.
According to Najafli, the new road will cover the Horadiz-Minjivan-Armenian border highway route.
"The road from Hajigabul city to Horadiz city has been reconstructed and is in good condition. The road from Horadiz to the border with Armenia was destroyed during the occupation and there is a need to build a new road,” he said. “Upon completion of the design, it will be submitted to the appropriate structures. After the design’s approval, construction work can begin.”
The agency’s chief noted that in the future this road can also be extended from the Armenian border in the direction of Nakhchivan.
Following over a month of military action to liberate its territories from Armenian occupation, Azerbaijan has pushed Armenia to sign the surrender document. A joint statement on the matter was made by the Azerbaijani president, Armenia's PM, and the president of Russia.
