Turkey continues to strengthen Azerbaijan's defense capabilities, viewing it as a fraternal state and a key ally in the region. This was stated by Turkish Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler, who emphasized that cooperation is based on the principle of "one people, two states, one army."
The main work to eliminate the consequences of the mudflow has been completed in Tyrnyauz. The head of Kabardino-Balkaria Kazbek Kokov reported that utility and road services worked intensively, ultimately restoring the city's water, gas and electricity supplies.
It is planned to open a technical passage along the federal bridge over the Gerkhozhan-Suu River, and an alternative passage in the direction of Prielbrusye has already been provided. City roads have been cleared of mud and stone masses, and access to institutions has been restored.
According to Kokov, work to restore the mudflow system lies ahead. He noted that the volume of mudflows amounted to about 5 million cubic meters, which exceeds the figures for 2000 (4 million cubic meters). More serious consequences were avoided thanks to the preliminary cleaning of the tray, carried out over the past three years.
