Azerbaijan’s state communication operator Aztelekom will restore telecommunications infrastructure in the Jojug Marjanli village of Jabrayil region, a source in the Azerbaijani telecommunication market told Trend on February 2.

He said that the work to be carried out with the support of the Ministry of Communications and High Technologies stipulates deploying the communication services in the liberated village.

“All work in this direction will be coordinated with structures responsible for the reconstruction of the village. The work provides for construction of a telephone exchange, allocation of additional numbering capacity, etc,” the source said.

The optic cable, laid along the Shirvan-Fuzuli route, was previously expended to the city of Horadiz in the framework of the Great Return project. The continuation of the project, as previously planned, will include the work on cabling up to Zangilan, Gubadli, Jabrayil and Lachin regions.

Under the presidential order dated January 24, 4 million manats ($2.12 million) was allocated from the President`s 2017 Contingency Fund to the State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and IDPs for the construction of 50 private houses, a school building and relevant infrastructure at the first stage.

More than 190 families out of 400 families, who once lived in the village, have already expressed desire to return to their homeland. The construction work in the village will begin soon, as first 50 families out of 190 will be settled in this village at the first stage.

Work is underway on identification and assessment of the old property in the village, while ANAMA carries out operation on mine clearing.
