"Works in some areas in this direction are about to be completed. Thus, it is planned to create about 50 factories and enterprises in the agricultural park created in the territory of Zerti village of the region. Families will be provided with permanent employment with these industrial enterprises built by the Baku Abadlig Service LLC.
