President Ilham Aliyev: How are things going in Karabakh?

President of AzerEnergy Open Joint Stock Company Baba Rzayev: Things are going very well, Shusha is ready. It is also ready for opening. I reported earlier that line number two was ready.

President Ilham Aliyev: I know you have extended a power line.

Baba Rzayev: Shukurbayli is ready, and so is Shusha. The Fuzuli substation line is ready, while the substation itself will be ready in a month and a half.

President Ilham Aliyev: What is the condition of those hydropower plants destroyed by Armenians? Are things going on there?

Baba Rzayev: Mr. President, I will present “Sugovushan-1” and “Sugovushan-2” to your kind attention in one week. They are ready, we have launched them and tests are underway.

President Ilham Aliyev: What about Kalbajar district?

Baba Rzayev: We have done some research there, but have not reached a conclusion yet. The road and the transportation of equipment there are a bit difficult. However, the substation is under construction.

President Ilham Aliyev: The weather has now improved. It will probably be easier to get there starting from May.

Baba Rzayev: We will install about 200 poles from Dashkasan and Murov, 100 of which have already been installed. We have passed the most difficult place.

President Ilham Aliyev: Is the power supply of those serving in the liberated lands normal?
