The work has been completed on creation of the telecommunication infrastructure in the liberated Jojug Marjanli village of Azerbaijan’s Jabrayil region, a source in the telecommunication market told Trend on May 24.

The interlocutor informed that the commissioning of the telecommunications network in Jojug Marjanli is expected on May 28 – it will be timed to the Republic Day celebrated in Azerbaijan.

The work was carried out in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies. Specialists of Aztelecom already visited the village and assessed the work done.

The source noted that strengthening of the telecommunication infrastructure in Jojug Marjanli will make the village a distribution point for the further expansion of telecommunications services to other villages.

Currently, Jojug Marjanli is provided with a telephone station and a 10-kilometer optical line coming from Fizuli region, allowing the operator to provide other multimedia services, along with the services of communication and the Internet.

Jojug Marjanli village was fully liberated from the Armenian occupation in April 2016, when Azerbaijani Armed Forces prevented an Armenian provocation on the contact line. To protect civilian population, the Azerbaijani army launched counter attacks and as a result, the Azerbaijani troops retook hills around the village of Talish, as well as Seysulan settlement, and also took over Leletepe hill located in the direction of Fizuli region.

In late January 2017, President Ilham Aliyev ordered to restore Jojug Marjanli. Under the order, 4 million manats were allocated for the construction of 50 private houses, a school building and relevant infrastructure at the first stage.

Moreover, President signed an order on additional measures to construct the road leading to the liberated Jojug Marjanli village and allocated 4.3 million manats from the state budget for the construction of 9 km long highway in the village.
