“Heydar Aliyev is a brilliant leader who continued and enriched the traditions of state governance of our great historical figures,” Polukhov added.
While speaking about the role of Heydar Aliyev in the development of relations between Azerbaijan and Egypt, Polukhov spoke about the high level of bilateral cooperation, assessing the visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Egypt in 2007 and the visit of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in January 2023 to Azerbaijan as a successful continuation of Heydar Aliyev’s policy.
