"In other words, the regions of Azerbaijan must meet the highest standards today. Let me repeat that every citizen of Azerbaijan can clearly see the revival of the regions as a result of the work carried out in recent years – nine international airports, renovated, repaired and newly built railways, highways, electrical infrastructure, irrigation and drinking water projects, gasification," President Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting with newly appointed Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in Nakhchivan and heads of several district executive authorities, APA reports.
"In other words, we have done all this work in recent years so that people can live better. It is necessary to pay attention to people, live with their concerns and always be by their side. Visit all the villages one by one and contact people there – in the villages. In other words, these are my requirements. Every time I appoint someone, be it the head of executive authority or another senior official, my instructions are approximately the same. But, alas, despite the trust I place in them, some officials – instead of following these instructions – prefer to line their own pockets and engage in illegal enrichment. I am sure that you will live up to this high trust with hard work. A great responsibility rests on your shoulders. Some of you have already worked in senior positions and have experience. Some have been appointed for the first time. Therefore, I am confident you will justify this trust by your work and win the people’s respect. I wish you success," President Ilham Aliyev noted.
