Presidential candidate: "It is necessary to declare Russian language as the second state language of Azerbaijan"

He said that this demand complies with his election platform.

"The declaration of the Russian language as a state language by the Constitution of Azerbaijan, is necessary to preserve the cultural and intellectual layer and basic level of population's knowledge, which Azerbaijan gained through the past 200 years.

Currently, the level of education is poor and in order to overcome this obstacle, it is necessary to return to the education, which was in period of the Soviet Union", noted he.

Aliyev also announced that the meetings in the southern regions of the country were held Monday.
