Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Brazil Elnur Sultanov, talking about the publications of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation about Azerbaijan presented to the Brazilian Senate’s library, said this event was another contribution to the relations between Azerbaijan and Brazil. He emphasized historical services of founding father of the modern Azerbaijan, our people’s national leader Heydar Aliyev, and noted that our country has been developing successfully under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev. Ambassador Elnur Sultanov underscored that significant projects have been implemented in various spheres, including towards promoting Azerbaijan’s culture around the world, advocating dialogue between cultures and religions, under the leadership of President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva.

Aphorisms” by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation into the Portuguese language. K.Buarke expressed his confidence that the publications presented by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation would play a matchless role in conveying information about Azerbaijan to the Brazilian reader.
