Unofficial information has spread that the founder of the Telegram platform and well-known technological leader Pavel Durov has arrived in Baku. This information was widely discussed on Azerbaijan Telegram channels and received interest on social media. It is reported that Durov is already in Baku and has visited several important places in the city.
According to reports, Durov plans to meet high-ranking officials in Baku. This visit is particularly noteworthy in light of Durov's recent visits to other CIS countries. For example, Durov visited Kazakhstan last month and said during this visit that "12.5 million out of 20 million Kazakhs use Telegram every month, which means a 25% increase compared to last year. We are proud to serve as the primary communication platform for the Kazakh people, and we hope to continue to be instrumental in accelerating their rapid economic and digital transformation.”
The news about Pavel Durov's visit to Baku, especially with the news that the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, will come to Baku tomorrow, increases the attention even more. If this information is confirmed, it is likely that Durov is working on new cooperation plans with the CIS countries. This may be a development that will open new perspectives in the fields of technology and innovation, especially for Azerbaijan.
Durov is recognized as a person who pioneers technological innovations in the world, and his arrival in Baku can have a serious impact on the country's technology sector. It is expected that more detailed information about the results of his visit and his future plans will be announced in the coming days.
