Economic Development in Azerbaijan

[xenon54 out]

If I'm not mistaken, most of the imports to Nakhchivan from mainland Azerbaijan goes through Iran's territory, that has been the case from fall of USSR. Also a railway is already being constructed from Iran to Azerbaijan. It will give direct access to Azerbaijan to Persian gulf and Indian ocean and a land route for Iran to Russia and Georgia, win-win.

I talking about connecting Azerbaijan to Turkey via Nahcivan and Iran with highway and railway.

Would be perfect. We lived and will further live together for centuries together.

But I don't believe never Iran. Sorry.

Azerbaijan, Turkey to jointly manufacture micro and nano-satellites

Azerbaijan and Turkey are considering the possibility of mutual scientific and technical support in the production of micro- and nano-satellites, Azercosmos told Trend.

Azerbaijan's unique satellite operator Azercosmos is in talks with the Turkish Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBITAK UZAY) on this issue, the source reported.

Azercosmos, Science Development Fund under the President of Azerbaijan and TÜBITAK UZAY signed a memorandum of mutual understanding on cooperation in the space industry in 2015.

Under this document, the sides will exchange experience in the sphere of space technologies, conduct joint research, and use benefits of satellite telecommunication systems.

Moreover, the cooperation provides for space and astronomical research, as well as study of the Earth's surface and the construction of new generation telecommunication systems. The parties will exchange experience in the field of space-based technologies, conduct joint research and use the benefits of telecommunication satellite systems.

Being the only satellite operator in Caucasus, Azercosmos launched the Azerspace-1, the first-ever satellite of Azerbaijan in 2013. The company provides highly reliable, satellite-based communication services to enterprise and government customers for DTH, voice, video, data and mobility applications. Azerspace-1 covers the countries of Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Azerspace-2 is scheduled for launch in late 2017-early 2018. Work on the installation of ground station equipment must be completed no later than 2017, and the ready satellite shipped to the launch site before the end of 2017.

The satellite will be placed in an orbital position of 45 degrees east longitude and will be leased by Azerbaijan side from the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, which will have rights to 45.9 percent of satellite resources. The service area of Azerspace-2 will cover Europe, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Moreover, Azercosmos operates the low-earth-orbit satellite AzerSky.

Enjoying a high-skilled personnel and advanced technical capacity, Azercosmos has succeeded in becoming one of the driving forces of the ICT sector both in the country and in region during the short period since its inception.

Azerbaijan’s airline creates its own low-cost sub-company - AZALJET

CJSC Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) has announced of plans to estalish new brand AZALJET to offer low-flights.

AZAL informs that AZALJET brand flights begin since 28 March 2016 on the basis of the available civil aviation infrastructure of Azerbaijan.

"This business model implies the economy on the range of facilities that allows cutting much the flight cost compared to the classic carriers. Along with that, we, as before, guarantee high level of safety and service on all flights of the national carrier of Azerbaijan," AZAL president Jahangir Askerov said.

The flights to operate under brand AZALJET will offer baggage and meals on board for an additional fee. Such practice has been successfully applied partly from August 2015 and in full scale from 1 February 2016 at some AZAL planes. In this connection the airline made a decision to create a separate brand to offer tickets on this scheme. After creation of a separate low-cost organization, AZAL will continue to carry out its classic flights, including, as before, both transport of baggage and a full range of in-flight catering.

Thus, AZAL will get an opportunity to compete effectively in the airline industry with both airlines and low-cost air companies, which display an interest in our market. In particular, flights to the regions of Azerbaijan are already carried out by airline Anadolu Jet, which is a low-cost brand of Turkish Airlines, and at the end of March Hungarian airline WizzAir will resume flights from Baku to Budapest. Other low-cost airlines, including Turkey’s Pegasus and Atlasjet, are already showing interest in flights to Azerbaijan.

You have good relations to Armenia. Can't you help Minsk-Group to solve Karabagh problem?

Karabakh is a complicated issue, it won't work until both sides agree that it settles only peacefully, and I assume there should be concessions on both sides, something that neither are ready for, yet.

and I assume there should be concessions on both sides

Or maybe Armenia should act according to international law and end the illegal occupation? I dont know its just an idea.

I thought that was the idea in the past 20 years, look how it worked out. Let's repeat this sentence for another century and see what happens. Yep, nothing. Maybe other choices should be examined too.

And what benefit will Azerbaijan have by compromising? Azerbaijan can sit it out and develop the country further while Armenia is stagnating.
Time is working in Azeri favour.

Well then, since both sides seem to be happy with status quo, then everything is fine.

Happy isnt the right term, ''waiting'' is describing it more accurately.

Which concessions do you mean? And how can a peaceful settles look like?
