“Every year we go to hard-to-reach places where no one has been for a long time, and I’m very proud that today we are among the first to visit Fuzuli International Airport and that we have the opportunity to visit the region. We’ll also go to Aghdam and Shusha. We want to learn about the history of the conflict [Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict], as well as about the latest events,” Spori said.
