EU presented the results of the project on the eco-migrant community in Telishli village
Baku/29.01.21/Turan: The Delegation of the European Union in Azerbaijan organized a presentation of the project "Agriculture Initiatives to Generate Sources of Income in the Telishli Eco-Migrant Community." The community was formed as a result of the floods of the Kura River in 2010 in the Imishli-Kurdemir zone. The community members are residents of Telishli and Allahmammadli villages.
Speaking at the event, the head of the EU Delegation to Azerbaijan Kestutis Yankauskas noted that the project ended with great success and expects the project's results to be long lasting. “This project is one of eight EU projects in Azerbaijan for the development of rural areas. Our projects cover more than 5 thousand people in 30 regions of Azerbaijan. Many family farms are involved in the projects. The projects have shown once again that they have great success when civil society is involved in them,” the diplomat said.
The project was implemented by the public environmental organization "Ruzgar". Presenting its results, the head of this NGO Islam Mustafayev said that the project had five points:
1) Increasing the yield of pastures and improving the irrigation system;
2) Creation of carpet weaving shop;
3) Organization of a roadside cooperative service for the sale of products produced in the community;
4) Breeding of goats of the Aleppo variety;
5) Restoration of the lake for fish farming.
Mustafayev said that residents of these two villages faced environmental and social problems as a result of floods in 2010. The community currently numbers 1250 people in 276 families.
“The government has built a new village for these eco-migrants; a total of 104 houses were built.
Residents' incomes have plummeted due to the effects of the floods. However, the project has created jobs for community members, laying the foundation for future sources of income,” he said.
Mustafayev believes that the experience gained during the implementation of this project can be fully used in the restoration of the liberated territories in Karabakh. –71D-
