Hikmat Mammadov – The chief editor of “Yeni Azerbaijan” (new Azerbaijan) newspaper, the Member of Parliament: “Grounding on my own observations I can say that although Nakhchivan is an old land it is also a modern city. The construction traditions preserved since old times are continued successfully now. My heart is full of with the senses of honor, pride that today, Nakhchivan, on the border of three countries is developing, growing and improving. The people live in prosperity here. The autonomous republic has a great tourism potential. Nakhchivan was one of the centers of history and political past of Azerbaijani people. But I think that it is a bit unfair to connect the name of Nakhchivan only with the political history of Azerbaijan people. Because, Nakhchivan city and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic as a whole is one of the most important cultural centers of Middle East and the Muslim world. Therefore, Nakhchivan has become one of the developing tourist centers in the world today. Because all the peoples living in a large Muslim geography from North Africa to the Middle East can find something belonging to their backgrounds and cultures.

The extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Azerbaijan Onno Kervers: “Nakhchivan is also a modern city, the unity of modernity and historicity drew my attention here”.
