![]() Thus, the mystery of all those airports is solved. It also seeks to make Azerbaijan a regional transport hub by connecting it to Turkey. If implemented, the Zangezur Corridor would allow Azerbaijan to access Nakhchivan without Armenian checkpoints through the Syunik province in Armenia - referred to as Zangezur in Azerbaijan. President Aliyev has long advocated for unblocking the connections between western Azerbaijan and its exclave of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Integral to this project is the so-called Zangezur Corridor. ![]() Part of what Azerbaijani authorities have long dubbed the “ Great Return ” programme, this large-scale construction project seeks to revitalise the economy of the previous conflict zones. In fact, it is part of a much larger project that will see widespread infrastructural development in the regions gained following the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War. The “Great Return”Īll this building is not down to Azerbaijani construction workers having a bit too much time on their hands. Azerbaijan’s construction sector certainly has been taking off. In the Zangilan region, the Aghali Smart Village just opened: the first of several planned state-of-the-art village complexes, prioritising sustainability and economic efficiency. Only a few months later, Aliyev placed down yet another stone: this time for the 44-kilometre Aghdam-Barda highway. Just a week after Azerbaijan’s victory in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, Aliyev placed the foundation stone for the 101-kilometre “Victory Road” - a highway connecting the newly recaptured cities of Fuzuli and Shusha (known in Armenian as Shushi). Three new international airports built within a 40-kilometre radius by 2024? It does seem on the hastier side of things for a region that currently has little in the way of tourism.Īirports are not the only construction project Azerbaijan has seen as of late. A third airport is set to be commissioned in 2024, located in the Lachin District of East Zangezur. In October 2021, the 44-million-USD Fuzuli International Airport was inaugurated by Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after its rapid completion within a mere eight months. However, what does warrant it is the fact that this is not the first international airport built in previously Armenian-controlled territory, nor is it the last. The building of one single airport is hardly worth deep analysis. ![]() The airport will be located in the Zangilan District of the East Zangezur Economic Region - one of last year’s newly established economic regions created out of territories gained in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. Azerbaijani media recently reported that construction of the Zangilan International Airport is well underway and set to be completed by autumn this year. But why is Armenia unhappy about these plans? And, what’s with all the airports?Īnnouncements about airfields are hardly my usual go-to deep dive, but last month one such announcement caught my eye. The statement came after a lengthy back-and-forth between Baku and Yerevan over Azerbaijan’s proposed construction of the Zengezur Corridor - a transport corridor which aims to more easily connect Azerbaijan with its landlocked Nakhchivan exclave and its strategic partner Turkey. Renaissance scholars and feminist critics and historians in general will welcome this book, and medievalists and intellectual historians will also find it valuable reading.“If we are not given access, then it will be difficult to talk about peace”: these are the words of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during the IX Global Baku Forum on 16th June. Jordan examines pro-woman arguments found in dozens of pan-European texts in the light of present-day notions of authority and subordination, particularly resistance theory, in an attempt to link gender issues to larger contemporary theoretical and institutional questions.ĭrawing on sources as varied as treatises on marriage and on education, defenses and histories of women, popular satires, moral dialogues, and romances, Renaissance Feminism illustrates the broad scope of feminist argument in early modern Europe, recovering prowoman arguments that had disappeared from the record of gender debates and transforming the ways in which early modern gender ideology has been understood. Renaissance feminism, she maintains, was a feature of a broadly revisionist movement that regarded the medieval model of creation as static and hierarchical and favored a model that was dynamic and relational. Considering a wide range of Renaissance works of nonfiction, Jordan asserts that feminism as a mode of thought emerged as early as the fifteenth century in Italy, and that the main arguments for the social equality of the sexes were common in the sixteenth century.
