By Rashid Shirinov
Turkey intends to implement an agrarian project in Jojug Marjanli village of Azerbaijan’s Jabrayil region, Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Erkan Ozoral said on November 23.
He made the remarks at a meeting with Azerbaijani Economy Minister Shahin Mustafayev in Baku.
Ozoral said that Turkey would like to contribute to the development of the village.
“The project envisages the creation of farms and production of agricultural products with the aim of developing agriculture and livestock in the village,” he said, adding that the products of those farms can also be exported in future.
Mustafayev, in turn, noted that this project will be very important for development of the village and improvement of population’s social status.
Jojug Marjanli village was liberated by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from the Armenian occupation in April 2016. In late January 2017, President Ilham Aliyev ordered to restore the village.
During the first phase of restoration, 50 private houses, a school, mosque, electric substation, hydrometeorological station, highway and other relevant infrastructure were constructed in Jojug Marjanli. The village was provided with gas, electricity and water supply.
The second phase of construction and restoration work and work on improvement and creation in Jojug Marjanli started on June 15 this year, and currently it is nearing completion.
