I am absolutely positive that together we will develop the field of opera and ballet in our country, and will put all of our efforts into making that happen," said in the post.

In his post, the opera theater director expressed his gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev and the First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva for special attention paid to the development of Azerbaijani culture.

"I want to thank every person who supported and believed in me.
