"Some time ago, I instructed to restore this historical monument and create tourism infrastructure around it. "Diri Baba" tomb stands out for its uniqueness in the entire Caucasus region. This tomb, which is more than 500 years old, has been recognized as a holy place by the people of Azerbaijan for centuries.
