President Ilham Aliyev: Gasification in Azerbaijan should be at least 90-95 per cent

Baku, January 29, AzerTAc “Gasification is at the level of 100 per cent in all cities. This is also a historic achievement. This has never been the case,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his opening speech at the conference on outcomes of the first year of implementation of the “State Program on socio-economic development of districts of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 2014-2018”. The head of state noted that even in Soviet times there were no gas lines in some areas. “Today, all our cities and houses have 100 per cent natural gas.” “This process is also under way in the villages. Once a quarter I am informed about the progress of gasification in villages. We have done a great job. Gasification in Azerbaijan should be at least at the level of 90-95 per cent. At the end of the program, in 2018, we will achieve this goal,” the President added.
