President of the International Eurasia Press Fund Umud Mirzayev also participated in the concert. In his speech, he talked about Jeffrey Werbock's love for Azerbaijan and his creativity.
"J. Werbock wrote a book called "Odlar yurdu Azerbaijan" (Land of fire Azerbaijan) in the 90s. There was Modric Hauzish from Latvia and Richard Lapaitis from Lithuania. These people are famous. All our sides were enemies. Thankfully, Azerbaijan's friends are increasing today. There are many people who want to come to the country. At that time, coming to Azerbaijan required courage."
