I am delighted that everything we outlined is being implemented, including the first facility of the Araz Valley Industrial Park, which is the facility of fraternal Tatarstan. We are very grateful for such an attitude towards the restoration of the territories and, of course, we hope that the cooperation program that we have outlined will be fully implemented,” President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the meeting with Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnikhanov in the village of Aghali of the Zangilan district, Report informs via AZERTAC.
