Foreign students meet with refugees from Garabagh
Foreign students receiving education in Azerbaijan
will explain to the public in their countries about the realities
of the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict the country faces with
Armenia. They made this decision after meeting last Wednesday with
Azerbaijanis who were forced from their homes as a result of
military aggression by Armenia.
The foreign students visited a newly built settlement in the frontline Fizuli district to enquire about the living standards of the refugees living there. The residents said that Armenian troops frequently violate the standing ceasefire, shooting at people as well as livestock in frontline villages. They also said the occupied territories are being set on fire and the cultural monuments and graves are being destroyed by the Armenians.
The students emphasized that they had heard about the Garabagh conflict before but were not aware of the truth.
They also visited local schools to meet with IDP schoolchildren to become familiar with the conditions of education in the area.
On Thursday, the foreign students visited the Goranboy district and met with local residents who continue suffering from the consequences of the Garabagh war.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani districts in defiance of international law. The OSCE-brokered peace talks have not yet achieved any breakthroughs.
