CNN airs report on Azerbaijan's water pipeline

CNN WorldView, a global evening newscast, aired a report on Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline. The Oguz-Gabala-Baku pipeline commissioned last year allows Baku receiving water from Caucasus mountains.

Journalist Sevinj Osmangyzy prepared a report travelling across regions the pipeline runs through. Chief engineer of Oguz-Gabala-Baku pipeline Mammadrasul Ilyasov said the pipeline doesn't need in any pump. The initiative to construct Oguz-Gabala-Baku pipeline has been first put forward in 1970. But the project has been frozen because of financial problems.

Thanks to Azerbaijan's oil revenues, the project has been implemented and funded by the State Oil Fund. Many people say Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline is the most effective project in Azerbaijan after the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline.

The report will be telecast five times during four days.
