"From the point of view of creating new parks, I believe that Baku today ranks first in the world.”

Axar.az reports that it was told by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with residents of the building meant for the teaching staff of Baku State University.

The president noted that whenever a building is demolished, a new park or a section of road is created in place of it, noting that the next large park such as this will be created on Yusif Safarov street.

“I pay much attention to this area. I want Baku to become more and more beautiful and the ecological condition of our city to be improved. We have already done it,” said Ilham Aliyev.
