People usually like to relax in summer. Because on hot days of summer, the need for people to rest psychologically is greater than in other seasons. At the same time, summer holidays for schoolchildren and vacations of parents in summer make it more favorable, which leads to the increase in number of vacationers in summer. However, remember that there are also those who are eager to rest in every season. Traveling to different tourist destinations even in autumn or winter is more convenient for some people. In fact, there is no tourism type like "summer, autumn or winter tourism". It is also possible in all seasons to relax since human interest is limitless. There are countries or regions that can meet this demand and create such opportunities.
Since Azerbaijan, as well as its integral part Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic have a multi-zones of climate, we have all conditions for rest and relaxation in all seasons of the year. Now, we have already stepped into the autumn. It has its own beauty. Nakhchivan also embodies its beauty in autumn. But what does this season offer for local and foreign tourists in the autonomous republic? In general, what opportunities can visitors take in this ancient land?
Luke Coffey, head of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy at the "Heritage" Foundation, an American conservative think tank visited the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic on October 3. The guest visited a number of sightseeing places in the autonomous republic.
In an interview with the "Sharg gapisi" newspaper, Luke Coffey shared his impressions about this ancient land:
- First of all, I would say that this is my first visit to Nakhchivan, but my acquaintance with your ancient land has made a great impression on me. The cleanliness and order here, the hospitality and friendly attitude of the people specially attracted my attention, I enjoyed my visit. Nakhchivan's historicity and modernity fascinated me. I visited the Duzdag Physiotherapy Center, Nakhchivangala and Noah's tomb, and I will inform my friends about what I have seen here. I intend to come here again to get to know Nakhchivan more closely.
