00:00:00It's almost finished, and only
00:00:03the top layers and cables and their lights remain, which
00:00:07God willing, in the next week or two,
00:00:11this will be connected to the main road and will be put into operation.
00:00:15will be taken In addition to this,
00:00:18see, the prolongation of projects or the existing inflation causes
00:00:22the initial estimate for the completion of the project
00:00:26to be paid to the project itself in that amount, but then more money is needed.
00:00:30Now, the initial estimate for this project was 100 million.
00:00:33Now, almost 400 million has been spent, and another 1500 million is needed for this project to be completed.
00:00:37done The discussion we
00:00:40had
00:00:42is that if this route is to be completed, we can complete
00:00:4650 to 60 kilometers of it by the end of this year,
00:00:49provided that 800 million is injected into this project.
00:00:53done or not? They
00:00:56deposited an amount into the account of the construction company,
00:01:00part of which was given to Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters, but that is not the amount needed.
00:01:04That is, maybe it is one seventh or one eighth of this amount. The amount is enough to start
00:01:08the work and continue the work. Or now the issue for us is
00:01:11that we have claims. That is, this amount they are going to pay now will be the same amount. That is,
00:01:15to clarify, more money is needed.
00:01:18Although Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters itself, when they wanted to start this work,
00:01:22their opinion was that we would work on the project and would receive
00:01:26its money later, and now its work is being done.
00:01:29The money was also stated by the government. Mr.
00:01:33Dr. Pourmohammadi had come and said that we will inject the money here
00:01:36and you will do the work, and now it is working. And
00:01:40here, a final border in Kalaleh
00:01:43Aghband is being built. The bridge is finished
00:01:47between Iran and Azerbaijan. It has been built.
00:01:50The transit terminal for its goods, phase
00:01:54one, has 65% progress. God willing, it will be finished this year, but
00:01:58its passenger terminal has not started. It is currently in tender.
00:02:01It is likely that its tender will be done in one or two weeks,
00:02:05and the winner of the tender will come and the terminal will be completed. I say that this
00:02:08project mostly needs financial
00:02:12resources to be injected. In our projects, it is mostly like this that
00:02:16by the time the credits arrive and the project is finished, the government provides credit, but
00:02:53about the Khovaran-Tabriz- Marand railway project.
00:02:57What is the current situation?
00:03:00Has the work started? Has there been any progress or
00:03:04not? Let me tell you, the General Directorate of Railways
00:03:07of Azerbaijan region is located on the
00:03:11East-West railway corridor.
00:03:13In a way, it is the connection of the railway
00:03:16of the country to the railway of Turkey and from there to Europe.
00:03:20it is but
00:03:22at the same time, even though we have this
00:03:26corridor, there is a missing link.
00:03:30For this corridor to be competitive, there is a connection
00:03:34issue between Khovaran and
00:03:37Tabriz, and the important project
00:03:40is Tabriz-Marand-Jolfa with a length of approximately
00:03:44297 kilometers. The project
00:03:46from Khovaran to Tabriz, in reality, its management
00:03:50and responsibility lie with the Construction and Development Company
00:03:54of Transportation Infrastructures of the country.
00:03:57But we are trying to include this project as well, considering the limitations
00:04:00of financial resources, which Mr. Dr. Novin also mentioned
00:04:04in the country, within the framework of this project. This
00:04:08project starts from Khovaran and from there connects to Tabriz and Marand to
00:04:11Jolfa and from there to
00:04:15the Turkish railway. connects
00:04:1829 kilometers of it is the section from Khovaran to Tabriz,
00:04:21and the rest is from Tabriz to Jolfa. Let me tell you,
00:04:25in this project, about 77 kilometers of it
00:04:29is our route.
00:05:0023 of this project, fortunately, has been issued, and we are currently
00:05:03negotiating with foreign companies for investment, and God willing,
00:05:06the final work is being done,
00:05:10and negotiations have started.
00:05:19We will witness the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the ministers of road and urban development of Iran and Turkey for this. Very well, so the investor
00:05:22has been identified. We are negotiating. Yes, it is a foreign
00:05:26investor with whom we are negotiating. Oh, very well.
00:05:29Regarding this railway connection between Iran and Armenia,
00:05:32please tell us what the situation is like
00:05:36there. See, the current
00:05:39situation of our Julfa that is not connected now. Due to
00:05:42the problem I mentioned, between Nagorno-Karabakh
00:05:46and in fact Armenia and Azerbaijan,
00:05:50the entire railway in the direction of Armenia has been destroyed.
00:05:53However, negotiations are underway at high levels of the country, which are related
00:05:57to political discussions. God willing, we will try
00:06:00to revive this within the framework of a project,
00:06:04but at the same time, it is currently in the study
00:06:07and negotiation stage. This
00:06:10project, the project that has priority in this route, is actually
00:06:14the same Kalaleh-Julfa route,
00:06:24Molaei, please also talk about economic diplomacy. When
00:06:28we complete our corridors, how much does it affect
00:06:31our economic diplomacy,
00:06:33our bargaining power with other countries, with neighboring
00:06:37countries? A lot. This is something
00:06:41that is completely clear.
00:06:44Look, our country is in a situation where it is a
00:06:47vast country with many roads, with many
00:06:51neighboring countries. It is hard for us to say that
00:06:54our country can be blockaded. That is, economic blockade
00:06:58for a country the size of Iran with this many neighboring countries
00:07:01is impossible, and during this time, of course,
00:07:05the issue of economic blockade and US sanctions
00:07:08have been imposed. Well, we, according to the reports of these
00:07:13government officials, have been able to replace many of our resources
00:07:16and fill them. Where did this come from? Well, from these same routes.
00:07:19This is one part of it, that we must establish proper communication.
00:07:22Now, this concern has been felt, and fortunately, they are moving
00:07:26in this direction. That is, the government also has this concern,
00:07:29the pretext of economic blockade has been created in it, and it is moving in this
00:07:32direction. And economic diplomacy is actually one of the most important parts of diplomacy.
00:07:36We think that diplomacy is just about negotiating. No, one part of it is to
00:07:40be able to create an advantage
00:07:42in our own country that will cause India to use
00:07:46the North-South corridor to communicate with Russia.
00:07:49See, now both India and Russia, two large
00:07:53countries with very high economic capacity,
00:07:57can communicate with each other through two routes.
00:08:01One is this North-South corridor that passes through our country, and a significant
00:08:04part of it, that is, its connector, is located
00:08:08within our province. Part of it also goes through Bab al-Mandeb and has to go
00:08:11around. It is almost two and a half times longer with
00:08:15several times the cost. Well, when they choose this route
00:08:18in the context of sanctions, you know that India came
00:08:21and intervened in a part of Chabahar
00:08:25regarding sanctions and said that I will not allow this place to be sanctioned. It was free,
00:08:29it was not sanctioned. Why? Because it is making financial profit, economic profit.
00:08:32Well, if we activate this capacity in our province, we can benefit from it.
00:08:36Mr. Novin also said that 20 billion dollars is not a small amount.
00:08:40This capacity exists in our province, but this will must be at the national level.
00:08:44A sectoral will, a provincial will, a regional will cannot
00:08:48solve this problem. The will must be national. God willing, with a national
00:08:51will, we can solve the problem of our corridors, both the North-South
00:08:55corridor and the East-West corridor. When this
00:08:58project is a national project, the perspective must also be national,
00:09:02after all. If we want to look at it provincially and sectionally,
00:09:06it will be the same as it is now. A
00:09:09project of over twenty years.
00:09:43that the distance between the two provincial capitals of East and
00:09:45West Azerbaijan should be reduced, and in line with the same
00:09:48East-West corridor, along
00:09:52162 kilometers, 120 kilometers of it is in
00:09:55our province. The entire Tabriz-Urmia freeway
00:09:58Section 6, which we talked about, is under construction and is very
00:10:02essential, considering the traffic on Kasa'i highway.
00:10:05Kasa'i highway has this section 6 of the road can
00:10:08be our second ring road for the city. Our busiest road is Kasa'i
00:10:12with 60,000 daily traffic and
00:10:16also sections 1, 2, 4. Sections 1 and 2 are in
00:10:20West Azerbaijan, and section 4 is
00:10:23in our province, which is
00:10:48and today we asked our road maintenance and traffic police colleagues to
00:10:51investigate. If they give permission within a few days.
00:11:17The investor himself is also there to do this. The Ministry of Roads and
00:11:20Urban Development also agrees that if they want to do this as a freeway and
00:11:24investment. If the province also concludes that this
00:11:28can be done and will not have
00:11:31other problems, we are ready to
00:11:34complete the return lane, either the government will provide funding next year
00:11:38or we can use the potential of the private sector. Here, we can use
00:11:42that. Free For
00:11:45this year, in another month, 9
00:11:48kilometers of the Marand- Bazargan freeway,
00:11:52its return lane from Sharqdaraq to Sufian,
00:11:55will be inaugurated. It's almost finished. It will be done in a month, and 6
00:11:59kilometers of the Maraq- Hashtrud freeway, from kilometer 42 to
00:12:0248, are ready, and we can inaugurate this
00:12:06next week if they want us to finish it.
00:12:09That is, hold a ceremony and present it to
00:12:11the people.
00:12:13Very well. Also, tell us how much
00:12:17financial resources have been allocated. From the
00:12:21beginning of the program, we said that financial problems have prevented these from being completed,
00:12:25but it wasn't always this way. In past years, it wasn't a priority.
00:12:28If it had been a priority, financial resources would certainly
00:12:32have been allocated for it.
00:12:35Now, in these existing projects, how much has been allocated?
00:12:39Now, if you have it, please tell us about each one,
00:12:42for example, the Jolfa axis or the Tabriz-
00:12:46Marand corridor. I would like to say that the Jalal
00:12:49Julfa Kalaleh
00:12:51axis practically needed 500 million to be completed.
00:12:55So far, 400 million has been spent, but due to the existing inflation,
00:12:59it still needs to be done, it keeps
00:13:02going up because prices are high. But for example, we can say
00:13:06that most of the government, the ministry, and the province
00:13:09are trying to allocate 100% of the approved
00:13:13budget. However, like all
00:13:16development projects where the allocation is usually not 100%, this allocation
00:13:20is not made. The existing inflation causes the money that
00:13:24is later deposited to not be enough to complete
00:13:27it, and sometimes problems arise
00:13:30in implementation, for example, a change in route or a problem with acquisition,
00:13:34and the contractor may not be able to submit a statement of work for it to be paid.
00:13:38All of this causes this to happen
00:13:42sometimes and the project to be prolonged,
00:13:44and the resources that were initially, for example,
00:13:48allocated for us at the beginning of the year, perhaps that
00:13:51100% of that construction was not considered 70, 60, 7.
00:14:02No, we are pursuing it. As you also said, there must be a national vision.
00:14:06We have also expressed this feeling in the meetings we had
00:14:10with the Planning and Budget Organization, and the Governor, Mr. Governor himself,
00:14:13was following up, and the ministry was also following up. We hope that this national
00:14:16vision will be consolidated so that we can quickly complete the projects.
00:14:19All our talk in this
00:14:22program has been that these projects, these
00:14:26corridors that exist, are national projects. They must be viewed nationally,
00:14:29and considering these conditions, the delay that has occurred so far
00:14:33has, in short, set the entire country back. Everyone,
00:14:37in whatever position they are, must help to ensure that
00:14:40these corridors are completed and
00:14:43the benefits will definitely be reaped by the people.
00:15:19economic issues of the province, which also
00:15:23program.
00:28:05know that when national interests and large calculations
00:28:09are at stake, the importance of precise
00:28:13and multi-layered oversight increases. Trust companies and
00:28:16their operations are no exception to this
00:28:19rule. In the trust mechanism, a significant part of
00:28:22activities are based on trust between the parties.
00:28:26Therefore, this trust must be
00:28:29controlled and guaranteed through official mechanisms.
00:28:33From company credit assessment and review of their track record
00:28:36and financial capacity to obtaining sufficient
00:28:40guarantees, contract control, and continuous
00:28:43monitoring of foreign currency flows.
00:28:46Here, operating banks and the central bank play an important
00:28:50role in monitoring the entry and exit of foreign exchange
00:28:53resources, controlling accounts, reconciling
00:28:57documents, and ensuring the return of resources
00:29:00from exports.
00:29:10and continuously monitor the possibility of deviation or misuse of resources. continuously review.
00:29:13Of course, the review does not mean creating
00:29:17obstacles in the activities of these networks. The goal
00:29:20of oversight is to create a balance between maintaining the efficiency
00:29:24of the trust mechanism and preventing corruption
00:29:27and deviation. Finally, with the intensification of sanctions, everything
00:29:31that exists becomes more necessary. Oversight must also be more
00:29:35professional, smarter, and more precise. Because
00:29:39maintaining this mechanism without control is risky, and
00:29:42control without understanding its necessity can also
00:29:46disrupt the country's foreign trade. lead
00:30:18Hello and good evening, dear viewers of the news channel. The Head of the
00:30:22Administrative and Employment Organization of the Country announced the start of the executive process for registering
00:30:25the information of company employees and emphasized that registering
00:30:29the information of these employees is a prerequisite for paying salaries
00:30:33or within the framework of the new administrative system. Mr. Rafizadeh
00:30:36said that executive agencies are obliged to register the information of company employees
00:30:40and their contracting companies
00:30:43from the first to the ninth of Mehr in the
00:30:47integrated administrative system platform.
00:30:50According to:
