Iran has accelerated the work to commission the Khudaferin hydroelectric power station and almost completed the construction of the Khudaferin dam over the Araz River on the border with Azerbaijan in the last two months,said Mahmoud Vaezi, Iran s minister of communications and information technology.
Vaezi said the implementation of the Khudaferin project has faced delays for many years due to technical and political problems. But Iran accelerated the work in this direction after Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Tehran and signing an agreement.
An agreement was signed between Azerbaijan and Iran in February 2016 for cooperation in the use of water resources, and continuation of construction and operation of the Khudaferin and Giz Galasi hydroelectric facilities on the Araz River.
