While discussing the damages, Rahman Hajiyev highlighted the objective of the "Karabakh.Center" internet resource, which was created to systematize and deliver objective information to the public about the reasons behind the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict and the consequences of Armenia's aggression, an initiative pioneered by the esteemed First Vice President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva.
