Garegin ll The leader of Azerbaijan’s Muslims, Sheikh ul-Islam
Allahshukur Pashazade, said the visit was made at his suggestion.

who died for Karabakh and see the graves of our sons. They went there
at night when there was no one there. It impressed him greatly,’
Pashazade told an ANS correspondent.
