clannishness of Azerbaijan Viktor Mereshkin.

from Russia and Ukraine.
"This will be not only ordinary visitors but also governors of all
11 Cossacks armed forces of Russia, as well as senior representatives
of Ukrainian forces", said he.
He considers that the visitors will be glad to see the memodial.
"The thing is that many establish memorials to Cossacks but not so
whole-heartedly as it is done in Azerbaijan, noted Mereshkin.
He said they plan to award orders to some participants of the event
and also to President of Azerbaijan.
He noted that during the military conflicts, people try to attract
Cossacks to their side, while Cossacks continue supporting Azerbaijan.

been for Azerbaijan and said "Azerbaijan is right! We are for our
brothers!"", Mereshkin concluded.
