It took a year to open a safe corridor of only 20 meters to supply electricity to Aghdam.
Modern.az reports that this was stated by Emin Huseynov, the special representative of the President of Azerbaijan for Aghdam, Fuzuli and Khojavand districts, at the event titled "From Urbicide to Revival: Sustainable Reconstruction, Settlement and Development in Aghdam, Fuzuli, Khojavand, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan" held within the framework of WUF13.
He stated that the provision of electricity is one of the main conditions for the implementation of all other projects.
According to Emin Huseynov, the destruction in the liberated territories did not only cover the surface infrastructure:
"Vandalism also caused serious damage to the underground infrastructure. Pipes, communication lines and engineering networks were completely destroyed. Their reconstruction required a long time and large resources."
The special representative noted that one of the main priorities in Azerbaijan's restoration model is the application of modern technologies.
"The reconstruction process should not be limited to simply restoring previous standards. The world is changing, technologies are developing, and we must use the most modern solutions to achieve higher quality results in a short time."
E. Huseynov also emphasized that in order for reconstruction projects to be sustainable, it is important to actively involve people in this process.
"People should be heard, their opinions should be taken into account, and they should become participants in this process. Only in this case can the created living spaces be long-lasting and sustainable."
