PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan want to build a city to be populated by 100000 on Zangelan-adjacent liberated territories.

“The city will be named Bagharan,” Azerbaijan’s Armenian Refugees Assembly board member Mariam Avagyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

“The city must be given a status of a free economic zone, with talks as to Bagharan construction in progress with NKR authorities,” she noted.

According to Ms Avagyan, U.S.-based Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan are ready to finance the project.

Another representative of the Assembly, Eduard Poladov, in turn, expressed hope the newly-built city will be in no way inferior to Baku, which they were forced to leave.

“Bagaran will become a symbol of friendship between the nations in the region,” he stressed.
