As a result of the successful continuation of the national leader's path, the railway infrastructure in the autonomous republic is preserved and developed, despite the blockade conditions. “Azerbaijan Railways” CJSC will carry out further measures to modernize the railway infrastructure of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

The Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Vasif Talibov evaluated the launch of the Ordubad railway station and the new passenger carriages as a significant event and congratulated the railwaymen and users on this occasion: Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is in blockade since the beginning of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. At that time, national leader Heydar Aliyev's leadership in the autonomous republic saved Nakhchivan from many troubles. Meanwhile, the measures taken by the great leader prevented the collapse of Nakhchivan Railways. After the national leader's return to political power in Azerbaijan, attention was drawn to the development of the railway along with other areas.

The Chairman of the Supreme Majlis said: Today, as a result of the successful continuation of the national leader's path by the President of the country, all areas are being developed in Azerbaijan. This development also covered railway transport. The development of railway transport is an indication of the country's independence and economic power. Despite being in the blockade, the railroad economy is also maintained in the autonomous republic. "Development Program of Rail Transport System in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic for 2011-2015", has contributed to the development of railway transport in the autonomous republic. At present, railroad opportunities are widely used in the implementation of internal freight and passenger transportation in the autonomous republic. This is welcomed by residents and businessmen. All this is the result of the successful implementation of the program, as well as the selfless labor of the Nakhchivan railroaders.

The Chairman of the Supreme Majlis thanked the railwaymen and said: "Azerbaijan Railways" Closed Joint-Stock Company pays great attention to the development of railway transport in the autonomous republic. Railway infrastructure is modernized in the Autonomous Republic, new railroad stations are built, wagons repaired and other works are being carried out. The introduction of new passenger wagons today is another sign of concern.

The Chairman of the Supreme Majlis expressed his gratitude to the management of the Azerbaijan Railways CJSC for the assistance provided to the railway development in Nakhchivan, expressed confidence that new wagons would be used effectively and the passengers will have exemplary service. 

Then Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Vasif Talibov and chairman of the Azerbaijan Railways Closed Joint-Stock Company Javid Gurbanov cut the ribbon symbolizing the opening.
