Azerbaijani President: Armenians living in Khankandi and surrounding villages must be integrated into our society

Emphasizing that the Armenian church has been repaired in Baku, the head of state said: “It is located in the center of the city, and if anyone goes there, they will see that there are about 5,000 Armenian books in it.
