The Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan today showed a film directed by Ziya Shikhlinski, "The Artist Drawing from Heart" about great Azerbaijani painter Tahir Salahov.
Russian Ambassador Vladimir Dorokhin said everyone who came to the embassy today, came, first of all, to pay tribute and express most sincere and deep feelings about Salahov.
"Thanks for a movie about a legendary person, who is equally talented, charming and magnificent, thank you for showing it in our embassy," Dorokhin said. "Tahir Salahov is a great citizen of my motherland."
He said that dynasties have a great role in the development of relations among the countries. "Thanks to dynasties such as Salahov's, the relationship between our countries will remain at the same high level as today," Dorokhin said.
