"It is always a pleasure to work with Nursultan Abishevich, I genuinely respect him. He is our aqsaqal (elder). Of course, I remember his meetings and conversations with my father Heydar Aliyev. They were friends. And I am happy that the traditions established many years ago live to this day. It is always a pleasure to talk to Nursultan Abishevich.
