Ilham Aliyev: Events in Lachin allowed a closer acquaintance with the rich and ancient history of this region

Cooperation in the humanitarian sphere is one of the main areas. I would like to express gratitude to the heads of CIS states for supporting the decision to declare the city of Lachin the cultural capital of the Commonwealth.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was stated by President Ilham Aliyev, speaking at the meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of State in a narrow format.

"The large-scale events held in Lachin last year allowed our guests to become more closely acquainted with the rich and ancient history of this region. Our guests were able to see firsthand its rapid revival, as well as the scale of the ongoing restoration work," the head of state noted.
