The Angoya Station of Baikal-Amur Railroad in Buryatia was given Azerbaijani nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev`s name.
A ceremony on the occasion brought together Azerbaijan`s Transport Minister Ziya Mammadov, Azeri Ambassador in Moscow Polad Bulbuloglu, and Head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin.
