"Now there is a big task for demining Karabakh. I’m sure that Azerbaijan will successfully cope with it, and after that, a vast territory will be available, where it will be possible to implement a large number of projects and create numerous job opportunities," Finkel said.

The expert pointed out that the uniqueness and fertility of the Karabakh land are known all over the world, and in this regard, agricultural projects will be implemented here.

"I forecast that numerous agricultural enterprises will be built that will produce fruits and vegetables, and livestock farming will develop. I also do not exclude the implementation of projects related to high technologies. All this is an opportunity for people to get new jobs, and for the country to move forward to new levels," he said.

According to the expert, in business planning, the state will diversify the country's resources, relying on both the West and the East - cooperating, working with different partners, strengthening Azerbaijan.

Following over a month of military action to liberate its territories from Armenian occupation from late Sept. to early Nov. 2020, Azerbaijan has pushed Armenia to sign the surrender document.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, the Armenian Armed Forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
