JULY 11 2017 (The Bulletin) — Azerbaijan plans to set up a new textile champion that will generate 550 jobs and place the country at the heart of regional, if not global, garment production, the ministry of economy said in a statement. The ministry said that the textile park centre was planned for Mingachevir Industrial Park in the north-central area of the country, although it didn’t release any other details. Azerbaijan has been under pressure to diversify its economy away from oil and gas.
