‘AZERBAIJAN MADE VERY CONSIDERABLE ACHIEVEMENTS IN TRANSPORT SECTOR’
Baku, January 1 (AZERTAC). “We made very considerable achievements in transport sector” President Ilham Aliyev said in his greeting message to the people of Azerbaijan on World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and New Year.
“In 2008, we embarked on construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which is of great historical significance. After long years of discussions, we managed to start construction of this railway. Today, Azerbaijani companies are actively involved in this project.
“Construction of the railway linking Europe and Asia will strengthen even more both economic and geopolitical position of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will become an irreplaceable country for transportation. It helps ensure our long-term national interests” said the Head of State.
“Two airports were put into operation in 2008 in the cities of Lankaran and Zagatala. New tankers are being purchased, motor highways are being built. All these require huge funds. Today, the Azerbaijani state possesses such resources. It is our successful economic policy and economic reforms that created such conditions for us.”
