He emphasized that today’s Gabala is a modern city, distinguished by its wide and comfortable roads, impressive architecture, international airport, world-class congress center, five-star hotels, scenic parks, sports grounds, and recreation facilities. Expressing his confidence in the future of the newly opened salon operating within the Azerkhalcha OJSC workshop and showcasing exquisite handmade Azerbaijani carpets, he stated that it has the potential to become one of the region’s key tourist destinations and assured that full support will be provided for its development.
