Baku, The Gulf Observer: President Ilham Aliyev has announced plans to rebuild the city of Aghdara, following the revitalization of nine villages in the district, during a meeting with residents of Ashaghi Oratagh, Childiran, Heyvali, and Chapar.

Speaking to the local residents, the President affirmed, “We will rebuild the city of Aghdara as well, just as we have already revitalized nine villages. We will construct the city too.”

Highlighting the district’s natural beauty and potential, President Aliyev emphasized that Aghdara is set to become a prominent industrial and tourism hub. “These refreshing places are a delight to the eye.
