“I am sure that every visitor can see a unity between antiquity and modernity in Baku. Baku is developing and growing, and special attention has been recently paid to architectural issues in Baku,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he met in a video format Shahin Seyidzade due to his appointment as Chairman of the Board of Icharishahar State Historical and Architectural Reserve.
“There was a time when ugly and awkward buildings were constructed throughout Baku. These awkward buildings do not meet any architectural norms and standards and have, unfortunately, changed the face of some parts of Baku for the worse. However, serious control has recently been introduced over these issues. All these issues are regulated by the state, and the number of unauthorized and illegal constructions has significantly decreased. There are still such cases, so I want to warn all agencies, government agencies and entrepreneurs that this will not be allowed. I appeal specifically to entrepreneurs – the pursuit of profit does not mean that we should spoil our unique city with such ugly-looking buildings. We will not allow this. Illegal construction must be stopped. All bodies exercising control over this issue must take this matter very seriously – the Baku City Executive Authority and heads of executive authority of the districts of Baku. I am confident that from now on Baku will develop on the basis of a single architectural concept,” President Ilham Aliyev emphasized.
