Though Sharifov did not reveal the reasons, he advised the journalists to remember which foreign countries had provided aid to Azerbaijan after the quake hit the country a few years ago: “Which countries provided aid to the quake-hit Azerbaijan? We have helped all. I went to Iran with 7-8 cars of aid under the instruction of Heydar Aliyev, though Azerbaijan was a poor country, when quake hit Ardabil in1997. We also provided aid during the other quakes.”
