PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan want to build a
city to be populated by 100000 on Zangelan-adjacent liberated
territories.
`The city will be named Bagharan,’ Azerbaijan’s Armenian Refugees
Assembly board member Mariam Avagyan told a news conference in
Yerevan.
`The city must be given a status of a free economic zone, with talks
as to Bagharan construction in progress with NKR authorities,’ she
noted.
According to Ms Avagyan, U.S.-based Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan
are ready to finance the project.
Another representative of the Assembly, Eduard Poladov, in turn,
expressed hope the newly-built city will be in no way inferior to
Baku, which they were forced to leave.
`Bagaran will become a symbol of friendship between the nations in the
region,’ he stressed.
