"I would like to say a few words about the work going on in Karabakh.

I don't want to say much, because everything is obvious.

Everything is going according to plan.

Infrastructure works - the construction of residential buildings has already started."

APA reports that President Ilham Aliyev expressed these views in his speech at the meeting dedicated to the end of the six months of this year.

The President said that the village of Agali in Zangilan has been put into use, the Master plan of five cities has been approved, and the locations of the new villages to be established have been determined.

"Perhaps we will be engaged in the construction and creation of new villages this year.

Also restoration of historical monuments.

That is, everything is going according to plan here.

As I mentioned, this region will be an exemplary region not only for Azerbaijan, but for the world.

We do everything in a planned way.

Of course, we are in a hurry, but at the same time, we do not allow haste.

All tender procedures must be passed, transparency must be fully ensured, there should be no monopoly.

Open tender procedures are provided and will be done.

The public should and will be regularly informed.

Among the issues related to Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, food safety issues are also important issues.

This year, not only us, the whole world has faced this problem.

Now, information channels and the press are spreading a lot of information about grain shortage.

Unfortunately, we are also a country heavily dependent on grain imports.

A program has now been developed to overcome this addiction.

Both in the liberated lands and in other parts of our country, we must and will soon increase grain production without wasting time.

According to the latest information given to me, this year, grains, that is, wheat, barley, cereals, will be planted on approximately 100,000 hectares, which have never been used.

This will harm our food security.

In short, I say again, today I covered a small part of the work done.

But this is enough for everyone to see that we are doing great work and will fulfill all the tasks ahead of us," the head of state said.
