Azerbaijani businessmen and Azerbaijani society act with dignity in this situation. As you know, on my initiative, the Support Fund to Figh Coronavirus was established and initially 20 million manats were donated to this fund from the President's reserve fund. Less than 10 days have passed since the beginning of the fund's activity, and I was informed last night that 90 million manats have already been collected in this fund. The vast majority of this is donations from companies. I thank the Azerbaijani business community for this. They have shown true patriotism and solidarity.

Axar.az reports this statement was made by President Ilham Aliyev at the opening ceremony of the New Clinic medical facility.

"At the same time, citizens are showing their support whenever possible. I am informed regularly. There are people who transfer one manat. We say "thank you very much!" to them. He also fulfills his civic duty. He acts within his capacity. This shows once again that we are - I have said it before and I want to say it again - a great nation, have been able to unite in the most difficult period. "We are strong together!" I believe that the slogan will remain in force even after the end of the disease. We demonstrate this unity and solidarity."
