New land policy is building future of farming in liberated territories

The decision by the Ministry of Agriculture to enforce a strict minimum threshold of five hectares for agricultural land allocations in the liberated territories is a transformative milestone in the nation's contemporary agrarian policy. Rather than viewing this policy as a mere administrative barrier or a rigid bureaucratic restriction, it must be analyzed as a forward-looking structural reform designed to entirely reshape the economic and operational landscape of Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur.
