Axar.az reports that speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Chief of the State Border Service, Lieutenant General Azad Alakbarov, conveyed the congratulations of the Chief of the State Border Service, Colonel-General Elchin Guliyev.

It was noted that the Border Guard of Azerbaijan has undergone a great development due to the attention and care of the Great Leader, who attaches great importance to the protection of state borders, and the implementation of the national border protection concept under the Supreme Command of President Ilham Aliyev is the basis of current service achievements.
