Rovshan Rustamov: The construction of the Horadiz-Agbend railway continues at a high pace
The section of the Khoradiz (in Russian - Goradiz) - Agbend railway line, which was reported by the head of Azerbaijan Railways, existed in the past. Therefore, for illustration, we use a fragment of a map of the Soviet railway network from 1943. After the First Karabakh War of 1988-1943, the Armenian occupying forces destroyed the entire section of the railway in question. Today, Azerbaijan is rapidly rebuilding this railway line completely and anew - as they say on a "green meadow".

According to Rustamov, over 40 percent of this route has already been completed.

The official added that this route will also contribute to the creation of a route to Nakhchivan.

The Horadiz (Goradiz) - Agbend section is a very important part of the so-called "Zangezur Corridor", which should create a direct connection between Baku and Nakhchivan and form the second branch of the so-called "Intermediate Corridor" on the "East-West" route.
