"In the last few months in this direction have been taken very significant steps. Among them I would like to note the activities of "ASAN Xidm?t". This service is expanding its activities. Already thousands of people have turned to "ASAN Xidm?t". We are expanding our activities "ASAN Xidm?t". I think that by the summer of this year, it will cover all districts of Baku. At the same time, this will cover big cities - Sumgait and Ganja. The next year, I believe, the service should be set up in all the other regions. And before that, the service will be provided through mobile buses. These buses have been purchased in the coming weeks and will be delivered to Azerbaijan. Through the service of these buses will start operating in different regions.
