Azerbaijan allocates funds for overhaul of Horadiz-Zangilan road

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed an order to overhaul the Horadiz-Zangilan road in the Zangilan district.

Caliber.Az reports citing the press service of the head of state that under the decree, 31.4 million manats were allocated to the State Road Agency for the construction of the mentioned road from the Reserve Fund of the President specified in the state budget of Azerbaijan for 2023.

The Ministry of Finance was instructed to provide financing in the prescribed manner, and the Cabinet Ministers to solve the issues arising from the order.

The foundation of the Horadiz-Jabrayil-Zangilan-Aghband highway was laid on October 26, 2021, with the participation of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The highway is one of the road infrastructure projects implemented in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh and East Zangazur economic regions following the instructions of President Ilham Aliyev, which will play an important role in the socio-economic development of the liberated districts and villages.

This road is part of the Hajigabul-Horadiz-Aghband-Zangazur road and is of great importance in terms of connecting Zangilan with other districts of Azerbaijan and the country’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
