One of the current tasks of the government is the reconstruction of Karabakh and East Zangezur.
Oxu.Az reports, citing AZERTAC, that President Ilham Aliyev stated this during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 13th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
The head of state recalled that Karabakh and East Zangezur were under Armenian occupation for nearly 30 years and noted widespread destruction there.
Emphasizing that visitors compared Aghdam to Hiroshima, the President said: "We call it the 'Hiroshima of the Caucasus' because the city practically does not exist."
