President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, in an interview with Azerbaijan Television in Nakhchivan, stated that the Goradiz-Agbend highway is almost ready, with only a few minor issues remaining. He also noted that the construction of the railway is proceeding at a rapid pace.

The head of state emphasized that Azerbaijan can accelerate this project at any moment, but sees no need for it due to the unpreparedness of the Armenian section.
