We've been setting this exhibition up for nearly two years. I believe that its language – the language of Art – eloquently conveys the great accomplishments our country has made in all spheres of achievement.
Following the initiative of Vice-president of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva, the Foundation’s Russian Representative Office, together with Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, has held wide-scale charitable actions in Moscow.
On the occasion of the World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and the New Year, employees of the Foundation’s Russian Representative Office visited the Moscow Medical Aid for Children Research and Development Centre, and Special Children’s Home No.43 in Moscow.
