mosques and churches destroyed during the 30-year enemy occupation
are being restored today by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation headed by
the First Vice-President of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva, and all
conditions are being created for the comfortable use of religious
people.

with us and share our joy."
