Vezir noted that according to her observations, today the people of Azerbaijan dream not so much about democracy or daily bread, but about Zangezur.
"I'm watching it. More people want Zangezur's return. This is our land, they say. And they are right! As for the desire for democracy, the public has it. But the broad masses of the people do not have such aspirations. Do you know what the broad masses want? Justice. For the broad masses of the people, justice is democracy. Justice should reign in Azerbaijan, equal opportunities should be established. Azerbaijan needs to take care of its citizens," she concluded.
