President Ilham Aliyev: This joins the road to Fuzuli.
Kamil Aliyev: This part joins the road to Fuzuli. It will connect both to Victory Road and the main four-lane highway. Concrete works in the construction of the building are almost 80 percent complete.

President Ilham Aliyev: Did you start the work too?
Kamil Aliyev: Yes. We also visited the site in Lachin district where the airport will be built and determined its project location. There are extensive earthworks involved.

Kamil Aliyev: We are already mobilizing. We have an office there. We have already delivered equipment to the site.
President Ilham Aliyev: Very good. How are things going on the highway?
Kamil Aliyev: Mr. President, it is a 17-kilometer section of the Fuzuli-Shusha road. We also have 10 kilometers of the Fuzuli-Hadrut road. We recently signed an agreement on the construction of the Aghband road.
