The head of state called on all segments of society- from scientists and writers to journalists and politicians, to safeguard the linguistic heritage of the nation.

Return of Azerbaijanis to present-day Armenia poses no threat
President Ilham Aliyev stated that the return of Azerbaijanis to their historical lands within present-day Armenia should not be a cause for concern among the Armenian people or their government.
