BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 10. On July 10, leaders
and representatives of Azerbaijan’s political parties visited the
city of Aghdam, Trend reports.
These visits to territories liberated from occupation are a key
part of Azerbaijan’s fostered political dialogue. This practice,
which strengthens democratic traditions, is widely supported by
Azerbaijani society and promotes trust and reliable relations among
political parties.
In recent years, visits to Aghdam, Shusha (twice), Zangilan
(twice), Khojaly, Asgaran, Khankendi, Lachin, and Jabrayil have
become an established democratic tradition. These trips contribute
to societal solidarity and the mobilization of the nation’s
intellectual potential. The concept of “political dialogue,”
prominent in Azerbaijan’s political discourse, is now a core part
of the country’s political agenda. Organized by the Presidential
Administration’s Department for Relations with Political Parties
and Legislative Authority, this eighth joint visit reflects the
open dialogue between the government and opposition.
Promoted by President Ilham Aliyev, the political dialogue
framework has driven consistent projects with political parties
over the past five years, aiming to preserve national unity and
mobilize patriotic forces for state and societal development.
The existence of transparent and reliable political relations
stems from President Ilham Aliyev’s resolute political will. He
consistently emphasizes the importance of healthy political
relations and constructive cooperation in his speeches and
interviews.
During the visit, conducted in an environment of active idea
exchange, Adalat Valiyev, Head of the Department for Relations with
Political Parties and Legislative Authority, addressed the group in
Aghdam. He detailed efforts within the political dialogue
framework, initiated by President Aliyev, to strengthen democratic
traditions.
Valiyev highlighted that a cooperative environment is a
cornerstone of political stability and sustainable development,
with all achievements rooted in President Ilham Aliyev’s political
will. He noted that the victory in the 44-day Second Karabakh War,
led by President Ilham Aliyev, the Victorious Commander-in-Chief,
is a defining moment in modern Azerbaijani history. National
solidarity, political stability, and unwavering political resolve
are key to Azerbaijan’s development and growing international
prestige.
The Aghdam visit, attended by party leaders, political analysts,
commentators, online media heads, and newspaper editors, featured a
comprehensive program. Participants toured the Aghdam Railway and
Bus Terminal Complex and learned about construction in Khidirli
village. They also visited the Aghdam Mugham Center, Aykol Manas
Khidirli Secondary School, Aghdam Congress Center, Aghdam Congress
Center, Imarat Complex, and Juma Mosque.
Emin Huseynov, Special Representative of the President in
Aghdam, Fuzuli, and Khojavend districts, emphasized that the rapid,
high-quality reconstruction in Aghdam and other liberated
territories showcases Azerbaijan’s economic strength, signaling
Karabakh’s transformation into a globally captivating region.
The Aghdam Industrial Park was also highlighted, with 27
resident and 6 non-resident entrepreneurial entities investing over
238 million manats, creating around 2,090 jobs. To date, residents
have invested over 72 million manats, generating approximately 300
permanent jobs.
Under the “Great Return” Program, Aghdam’s tourism potential
will align with other districts, with plans for hotels, recreation
zones, and rural tourism development. New infrastructure will
provide jobs and income for returnees. Hosting international events
in Aghdam underscores Karabakh’s rising global prominence.
