The Azerbaijani parliament voted in the third reading for a bill legalizing the creation of artificial islands and territories in the Caspian Sea. Vestnik Kavkaza reports this.
This law establishes the legal framework for the construction of both new islands and the expansion of existing coastal areas.
Artificial territories can be used to increase the coastline, create new ports, residential and tourist areas.
The construction of artificial islands is a common practice in many countries around the world. Such projects are implemented both for defense purposes and for the development of tourism and the economy.
