Last week, German citizen Thorsten Mueller visited Nakhchivan, and after returning to his country, he sent a voice message to his guide to express his gratitude. We present those impressions.

My name is Thorsten Mueller. I am 52 years old. I visited Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic from Germany. I work in a social welfare organization related to secondary schools in Germany. This is the 77th country I have traveled to. Nakhchivan is the cleanest place I have ever seen. It is even ahead of Singapore in terms of cleanliness. Before the trip, I said in Germany that I was visiting Nakhchivan. None of the people around me knew Nakhchivan. I loved this place so much. It is very neat and the landscape is amazing. The residents are friendly and the weather is excellent. We visited many places here with the guide Kamal. I spent the night at Nakhchivan Palace Hotel. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. We went to Alinja Castle together. We visited Naimi's tomb. We visited Duzdag Physiotherapy Center. We went to Garabaghlar. I was amazed by the Garabaghlar tomb. Alina Castle gave me the impression of the Machu Picchu of the Caucasus. The red color of the traffic lights in Nakhchivan means how long you have to wait. School uniforms are very nice. I have not come across this in Germany. Yesterday we were in a very nice restaurant. We ate good food there and drank beer in the garden. I have tasted many beers in my life, but this was one of the best. I think that Nakhchivan has a great tourism potential. It is very good for tourists to come and walk here. I will check the possibility of bringing tourists to Nakhchivan in groups. Groups will consist of 10-20 people. I think that next year I will make this trip and we will come and rest in Nakhchivan. In this way, I will make Nakhchivan known to more people in Germany.

Journey to the homeland of Prophet Noah

For a long time, no newly discovered land has enchanted me as much as Nakhchivan. And I felt it from the first moment I left the airport. The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic was established in 1924 within the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. Its territory is 5363 km² and more than 400,000 inhabitants live here. It is an autonomous republic with a special status that resembles an exclave like an island in the middle of the sea, with a small border with Armenia from the north, Iran from the south, and Turkey from the west. You can visit Nakhchivan by plane from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and by land through Iran. Its capital is the city of Nakhchivan and is located on the left bank of the Araz River. The Araz River is no less legendary than the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Any building in the city offers a beautiful view of the Iranian mountains beyond this border river.
