I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan despite your busy schedule.

Axar.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this on September 30 when he received Leonid Slutsky, head of the Russian Liberal Democratic Party faction, in the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

"The city of Shusha was among the settlements you visited. This, of course, gives special importance to your visit. I am sure that the Azerbaijani public, first of all, the former internally displaced persons, will properly appreciate your decision to visit the Karabakh region," the head of state noted. .
