It is noteworthy that the year 2017 is marked as the 10th writing anniversary of Safarli.

“We have been walking along the same road for more than ten years, during this time someone joined us, and someone - left. In any case, the movement continues. Thank you for waiting for me and my stories,” writes Safarli in his instagram account, addressing subscribers.
