Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reviewed a project on major overhaul and reconstruction at the Heydar Aliyev Sports and Concert Complex on March 4.

The development of sports is one of Azerbaijan's priorities. Consistent work to develop new and modern sports facilities and infrastructure in line with the highest standards is carried out in the country.

Along with the construction of an advanced new infrastructure, Azerbaijan, which is preparing itself for holding the inaugural European games in Baku in 2015, is also working on the rehabilitation of the existing sports facilities.

Under the instructions of President Aliyev, a project on the reconstruction of the Heydar Aliyev Sports and Concert Complex has been launched at the level of modern standards.

The head of state arrived at the complex to examine the work which will be carried out at the center, and was given information by Youth and Sports Minister Azad Rahimov.

President Aliyev gave instructions regarding the activities that need to be done not only at the complex proper, but also on an adjacent area.

Afterwards, the head of state was given a report on the repairs and reconstruction that will be carried out on the arena, various training halls, and the facade of the complex.

It was noted that based on the new project, preparatory work for beginning major overhaul and restoration at all the sections of the complex has already been completed, including the main training halls and various gyms.

Work is underway on the establishment of new lighting, fire protection, and security systems at the complex, and installing video surveillance and alarm systems and modern elevators.

The complex will be connected to a new high-speed Internet network. The building already has a ventilation system that meets modern requirements.

The president reviewed the areas where overhaul and reconstruction will be carried out and gave instructions on completing the job in a quality manner.

President Aliyev also visited the park adjacent to the complex and issued an instruction regarding the reconstruction of the park and doing high-quality landscaping.
