Since then the State Program for Rehabilitation and Development of Azerbaijan Republic's Road Networks(20062015) has acted as a road map for addressing these pressing needs. It envisioned a twophase rehabilitation of the national road and highway network: Phase 1 (20062009) and Phase 2 (20102015). According to this program, by 2015, Azerbaijan will have repaired and constructed more than 9,500 km of new highways, including 3,578 km of national roads and 5,928 km of local roads. As a result of increased government and international investment in infrastructure projects more than 5,500 km of roads and highways have been rehabilitated. Approximately 806 km of these new roads and highways are of national and international importance. International organizations sponsored 460 km of these highways, while 345 km was financed by the State budget. Currently, construction and rehabilitation work is being continued over 870km long parts of the national highways, including 749 km which is financed by international loans. The construction of the country’ s international highways and roads along the EastWest and NorthSouth axes will be completed to international standards by the end of 2012 . The following table lists the lengths of the main highways in Azerbaijan, and the sections that still require rehabilitation. Along the NSTC route from the AzerbaijanRussia border to the AzerbaijanIran border, for example, 53% of roads need to be modernized. The construction work on the northern segment oftheNSTC route (M1) fromBaku to Yalama (AzerbaijanRussian border) has completed on 2011, which willreduce transportation time and shorten the distance between Baku and the border by 10 km. The upgrading of the southern segment of the NSTC route from Alyatto Astara (AzerbaijanIran border) (M3) began in 2006 and is expected to be completed in 2013. The M3 is a fourlane highway that linksIranian and Azerbaijani roads. In the EastWest direction, the main focus is on the 503km long M2 road between Baku and the Red Bridge (AzerbaijanGeorgia border). The construction work is currently underway on a 171 km segment of M2.

  • Azerbaijan 2020 Human Rights Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly). The presidency is the predominant branch of government, exceeding the judiciary and legislature. On February 9, the government conducted National Assembly elections. The election observation mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe concluded that the National Assembly elections and the 2018 presidential election took place within a restrictive legislative framework and political environment, which prevented genuine competition in these elections. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service are responsible for security within the country and report directly to the president. The Ministry of Internal Affairs oversees local police forces and maintains internal civil defense troops. The State Security Service is responsible for domestic matters, and the Foreign Intelligence Service focuses on foreign intelligence and counterintelligence matters. The State Migration Service and the State Border Service are responsible for migration and border enforcement. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of security forces committed some abuses. During 44 days of intensive fighting from September 27 to November 10 involving Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Armenia-supported separatists, significant casualties and atrocities were reported by all sides. After Azerbaijan, with Turkish support, reestablished control over four surrounding territories controlled by separatists since 1994, a Russian-brokered ceasefire arrangement announced by Azerbaijan and Armenia on November 9 resulted in the peaceful transfer of control over three additional territories to Azerbaijan, as well as the introduction of Russian peacekeepers to the region.
