President Ilham Aliyev continued his visits to inspect redevelopment work in Baku's suburban villages with a trip to Mardakan settlement in Khazar District of Baku on Thursday.
Baku Mayor Hajibala Abutalibov briefed the president on work done in the area, the presidential website reported.
The intra-roads have begun to be renovated as a first step in Mardakan settlement. The roads with an area of 16,500 square meters have been covered with new asphalt with an area of 19,000 square meters to be asphalted in future. It was noted that water and gas supply lines in Mardakan will be renovated. The state program envisages creating sanitation system here, too, alongside with other Baku suburban settlements.
The lightening system in the settlement is also expected to be renewed. It was noted that it is planned to overhaul secondary school No. 181, a nursery No. 91 and kindergarten No. 221, Joint Municipal Hospital No. 26 and Tuberculosis Sanatorium No. 2 and supply them with the state of the art equipment.
After viewing the work done, the head of the state met Mardakan residents.
President Ilham Aliyev said greeting the public members:
?As you know, a special program has been designed to develop suburban villages of Baku. The program will be approved at the beginning of this month and the work will be carried out at a fast pace soon. Certain part of the work has already begun. New roads are being laid to Mardakan. These will wide-ranging works. Infrastructure projects are planned to be implemented in all settlements.
The program has been published in the press and everyone can get familiar with it. Certain orders have been issued with regard to each settlement. As to Mardakan, school and kindergartens are expected to be repaired here. A hospital will be renovated, new roads will be laid and gas supply project will be realized. Water supply and sanitation projects will also be implemented.
So, all socioeconomic issues in each village should be tackled by the time the program is realized in 2013. As you know, I have examined the situation in several settlements and listened to wishes of residents. The program has already been approved. Of course, we all should control realization of this program.
I want works in all settlements to be conducted at a fast pace in short period of time so that all urgent issues are resolved. We are aware of these problems. Therefore, I considered it important to adopt a special state program on redevelopment of Baku and its suburbs and we did it. All state bodies have been instructed to step up efforts. The requests and wishes of local residents should also be taken into consideration.�
We try to cover all issues by the new program. However, experience shows that sometimes it is possible to do this. Additions were also made to the State Program on Socioeconomic Development of Regions adopted in 2004 over time.
The same can happen with the current program. So, when additional proposals are made, they will also be considered. We did our best so that the program addresses all major infrastructure problems facing the people. The work is already underway. I am sure that all instructions will be fulfilled in time.?
RESIDENT: Mr. President. We are very happy to meet you in our settlement. This is one of the memorable moments. Your visit gives much enthusiasm. Our district and settlement becomes prettier every passing day. Much is being done both in the settlement and the entire district. We believe that our district will be much more beautiful like our country and Baku once the program is fully implemented. We are confident that our district will not lag behind other districts.
We appreciate your domestic and foreign policies. We will always support you. You policy convinces us that our republic has a great future.
There are a number of proposals at the moment. You already noted that the hospital should be repaired. The hospital No. 26 is the largest in our district. This is an old hospital reconstructed roughly in 1892. But many years have passed, and it does not meet modern requirements. We want the hospital to be included into the program, to be renovated so that our residents, veteran could receive good treatment there. We are grateful to you. Thank you very much.
President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you. The issue you mentioned will be settled. The complete overhaul of the hospital No. 26 and its supply with modern equipment will be included into the state program. I am sure that the works will begin soon. This hospital indeed has a great history. It used to be the central hospital of the district and nearby areas, but now it needs to be repaired at the high level. We will together open it after it is repaired. As to the works in the district, they are carried out in a proper manner. Khazar is a large and old district. Mardakan is a settlement with a long history. It has rich history and culture. I want works here to be conducted at a high level.
Now we also creating a grand entry into Mardakan and a beautiful bridge is being built. You are well aware that the cars stuck in traffic jams on Mardakan circle for several minutes, and maybe half an hour before. Although the distance to Mardakan has not reduced, now you can drive faster on this road as there are no circles. Beautiful bridges, overpasses have been built instead and the road has been enlarged. Now it is very convenient to enter the city from here.
Internal roads in Mardakan will also be renovated. You know very well that these roads are not wide enough. But the project of reconstruction of main streets is being developed and will be submitted soon. We will view it together in order to reconstruct this street for vehicles and pedestrians at a higher level. All these issues will be resolved. I just want them to be resolved quickly.
The program adopted is a great program. This is a project that requires a lot of work from both technical and financial standpoint. Large funds are needed to implement this program. We will make additions to the state budget this year to carry out this work without delay. However, despite this, the term of the program is only two and a half years. Why? Because I want these issues to be resolved quickly.
Of course, there must be a strong public control which will depend on you. Work is under way, roads, water lines will be built, gas lines will re-routed. We must make sure that they are of good quality, because public funds are allocated and work is underway. In some cases, the work done does not satisfy us because public control is weak. Executives are sometimes irresponsible about their work.
Therefore, public control has to be very strong. I ask all of you and inhabitants of all villages make sure to inform me if any issues are resolved in a wrong manner or there are any shortcomings. Now one can send a letter via e-mail, that is, information could be delivered in various ways. We must make sure that the work is done at a high level and wishes of the inhabitants are taken into account.
RESIDENT: Distinguished President, Khazar is a large district. This is one of the major parts of Absheron. We see your visit as a continuation of May holidays. On behalf of Mardakan residents, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to our settlement.
Great work is being done in our district in accordance with your instructions. Sanitation is one of the issues facing us. The measures taken by you, the decrees issues and checking fulfillment of orders on the ground point to your care about the people.
I express my deep gratitude to you once again on behalf of entire Khazar District.
President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you. The questions you raised are very important. Unfortunately, sanitation issue is urgent not only in Mardakan, but also in all settlements. Sewerage lines were not laid in previous times. This requires hard work and large financial sources. But this program has already started to be implemented. All appropriate instructions have been given. Azersu Joint Stock Company is dealing with this issue. We will try to build sanitation and water lines in all residential areas in the country. This is very complicated and big work as there were no lines previously. They must be re-routed, pipes must be laid and modern cleaning equipment must be installed. This issue is our priority in Baku suburbs. I know that people are mostly concerned about drinking water and sanitation. We faced shortage of electricity at one time. This issue was eventually solved. Now there is no such problem.
The gas supply works are done rapidly. Certain work has already been done and all gas supply projects across the country will be realized. All settlements will be supplied with gas.
Today Azerbaijan?s realities are acknowledged and studied by other countries. Our experience and redevelopment work draws attention.
Baku is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This is true. Foreign guests who trip to Baku also acknowledge this.�
Beautiful parks are laid in Baku, buildings are built and restored, roads are laid and a new infrastructure is created. Baku has really turned into a beautiful city. We need to work so that the Baku suburbs are distinguished for their modernity, beauty and cleanness. There is every opportunity to do this. There is already a specific program which will help to solve the issues you raised. It should cover redevelopment in all settlements.
Road is comfort and landscaping. Painting and restoration of buildings, building fences and planting trees mean improvement. Several million trees were planted last year alone. That means health.
RESIDENT: Distinguished President, let me greet you in Mardakan and convey the gratitude of residents of our settlement for your visit.
Mr. President, you have ruled Azerbaijan for already eight years. During these years you have done much for the republic and Azerbaijani people. Today, the Azerbaijani people live peacefully and safely. This is the result of your policy. Thanks to your policies, the ongoing terrible events in the world have not affected us and, we believe, it will not. This is your policy. Of course, a man who has learnt from our great leader is able to carry out this policy. You pursue the correct, accurate and balanced policy among major countries of the world, famous politicians. We sincerely welcome this. Thank you for working in the name of a prosperous life for the Azerbaijani people with the entire family.
The work done by Mehriban khanim is also evident. Azerbaijani women are known abroad in the face of Mehriban khanim.
Mr. President, as I noted, it is impossible to name all the work done. The redevelopment program of suburban villages drafted upon your decree was discussed with us and submitted to the Presidential Administration.
This is a result of your successful policies, good deeds done in the name of Azerbaijani people and motherland.
However, much needs to be done yet. The school, before which we stand today, was built by the late Haji Zeynalabdin Tagiyev in its time.
We've studied in this old school building. This building was built later. An old building needs to be restored. We do not want to lose it. Mardakan population knows this school as Haji Zeynalabdin Tagiyev School. It does not meet today's requirements. True, it I being used today, but it is not for today. This was built at the beginning of the century.
Mr. President, you will still do much for the motherland. We wish you good health, unwavering commitment and inexhaustible strength. God bless you.
President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you very much. I am very grateful to you. I will continue to strive to serve my own people. We have to solve all the problems facing the country. As for this school, of course, it will be repaired.
Haji Zeynalabdin Tagiev did a lot for the people of Azerbaijan. We revere his memory. I really appreciate what he has done. Personalities like him represented the people of Azerbaijan at the proper level at the time. Of course, he was a wealthy man and achieved great financial opportunities on his own. But he used these opportunities to improve the lives of his people. He wanted the Azerbaijani youth to study, to be literate and educated. He wanted social issues have to be resolved in Azerbaijan. Through his funds, he laid major water supply system, built schools and sent orphans, poor children abroad to receive higher education. We must be respectful to cultural, spiritual and material heritage of such an outstanding person.
We have renovated his home in Baku for this very purpose. Now it also houses the Museum of History of Azerbaijan. But at the same time, we have restored it as the house of Haji Zeynalabdin. At one time, we improved also his grave here in Mardakan.
Pir Hasan sanctuary was upgraded a few years ago at our initiative. Once again, I want to say that he is one of the most prominent figures in Azerbaijan?s history. His charitable mission served the development of Azerbaijani people. I often meet with modern entrepreneurs. They are also supported by the state. I want the entrepreneurship to develop so that people will become richer. Every time I advise them to pay attention to issues of social responsibility. Wealthy, rich people should extend a helping hand to those who have no opportunities. This will be a good deed before Allah and his own conscience.
This school is sure to be repaired. The appropriate order will be signed and we'll create a beautiful memorial to him. Now I was told about the problems that have arisen in connection with the construction of this school. They will be eliminated if there any deficiencies.1 news.az
