If we exclude the liberated territories, the level of gasification across the country today stands at 96 percent, President Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting dedicated to agricultural issues, APA reports.
"There are absolutely no issues with electricity supply anywhere in the country. Not only are we self-sufficient, but we have also established substantial export potential. Numerous highways, intercity roads, and rural roads have been constructed. Large water reservoirs — primarily Takhtakorpu, Shamkirchay, Goytepe, and others — have been built. Canals have been reconstructed, and this process continues. In short, the development of the regions and agriculture has progressed very rapidly. Consequently, there has been a significant increase in agricultural production across many sectors. I should also note that over the years, several state programs covering viticulture, cotton production, hazelnut cultivation, citrus farming, and other sectors have been adopted, giving a substantial boost to these areas," the head of state said.
