Nova Gorica, February 13, AZERTAC
The chairman of Slovenian- Azerbaijani Friendship society Ivan Bashin in his interview to AZERTAC correspondent spoke about Mikhaylo’s legendary heroism.
He said that Slovenia has always paid tribute to Mehdi Huseynzade, noting that “he lives in our hearts, and we will never forget his heroism. Michaylo unites the Azerbaijani and Slovenian people”.
He provided an insight into the roots of friendship between the peoples of Azerbaijan and Slovenia which was laid still in 1944 and said that Azerbaijani heroes courageously fought against the enemy for the liberation of Slovenia. Mr. Bashin noted that in 1984 a monument in Michaylo’s honor was erected in Nova Gorica, where he died. Thanks to Mehdi Huseynzade’s heroism friendly relations between the two nations have developed, he added. He praised the relations between Azerbaijan and Slovenia, estimating them as highly.
Touching upon the activities of the society he is leading, Bashin said its main goal was to expand ties with Azerbaijani organizations in the areas of science, education, culture and economy, and make new contribution to bilateral cooperation.
