US traveler admires rapid construction pace, restoration in Karabakh

US traveler Brian Greco has admired the ongoing rapid construction and restoration work in the Karabakh region by the Azerbaijani government.

The government is again investing in the restoration and the creation of a new economic region for the country's residents, for those returning to their houses from which they were once forcibly evicted. Therefore, I think that it is important to invest in this infrastructure as the basis for the future peace and prosperity of the country," Greco told reporters, Report informs.

He added that the trips to Karabakh help not only to explore this region and enjoy its beauty, but also to understand the history of the country and understand what happened here.
