BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. I was informed about the start of preparations for the 5th Congress and I said that this congress must definitely be held in Shusha, President of Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev said speaking at the V Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Shusha city, Trend reports.
“On the way here, I remembered the first congress held in 2001. As you know, the first congress was held on the initiative of great leader Heydar Aliyev in 2001. In his profound speech, the Great Leader expressed his views on the Karabakh problem, of course, and said that Azerbaijan would restore its territorial integrity, the occupied territories would be liberated from occupation and the Azerbaijani people would return to their ancestral lands. We, the followers of the Great Leader, have made these words come true. I was informed about the start of preparations for the 5th Congress and I said that this congress must definitely be held in Shusha. I am sure that the congress participants have also welcomed this idea and have come to Shusha, ancient Shusha, the capital of our culture, with great enthusiasm. Shusha also greets its dear people with such sunny weather, which once again shows that this is our historical land. Even nature and the sun are in solidarity with us,” said the head of state.
