The video has become even more relevant after Pakistan expressed solidarity with Azerbaijan in the latter’s ongoing conflict with Armenia. Earlier this week, the Azeri ambassador had posted about the historical relations between Multan and Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.

“#Multan city of Pakistan and #Ganja city of Azerbaijan established sister city relations in 1996 which need to firmly activate. #Multani #Caravanserai in #Baku is one of another testimonies of historic links between the peoples of #Azerbaijan and #Pakistan as well!,” informed Alizada in his tweet.
A little research revealed that an inn named Multani Caravanserai was established in the area in the 14th century. It is opposite to the Bukhara Caravanserai. Now Multan is the name of the city in Pakistan. The merchants and Zoroastrians from India harnessed this caravanserai as a stop.
