I know a lot of famous representatives of this nation, I have always respected Heydar Aliyev, I respect President Ilham Aliyev. Respectable Soyun Gasimovich, I know you personally, I met with the representatives of Azerbaijani Diaspora in Russia several times, participated in their events. I did not want to insult honor and dignity of any nation while publishing my book â€œThe Last Thrust to the Southâ€,â€ he said.

â€œWe have prepared a peace agreement and presented it to Meshanski court of Moscow today. We said that the respondent had apologized, the book had been removed from the website of Russian Liberal Democrat Party, the title of the book had also been removed from the list of the books written by Zhirinovsky. Thatâ€™s why we asked the court to confirm the â€œpeace agreementâ€ and pass a decision,â€ he said.
