President Ilham Aliyev: Infrastructure projects are and should be implemented according to the program

Baku, April 16 (AzerTAc). “Infrastructure projects are and should be implemented according to the program,” said President Ilham Aliyev in a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers dedicated to the results of socio-economic development in the first quarter of 2014 and objectives for the future. The Head of State noted: “We have not yet completed infrastructure projects but there is progress in this direction. This year we will traditionally implement projects on gasification, construction of rural roads, water and sewage lines. In some districts these projects have been completed, in others work is still under way.” “Projects of drinking water and sanitation are now our top priority because a significant share of the work in the fields of power supply and gasification has already been completed. Currently, the biggest investment is required by projects associated with rural roads, drinking water and sanitation. At the same time, we have recently allocated additional funds from the Contingency Fund of the President for the drilling of water wells. This will also be a very important step towards providing people with drinking water.”
