A meeting on "The Role of Solidarity in the Revival of Karabakh" was held with UNEC students

The meeting was held with students of Azerbaijan State University of Economics (UNEC) on the topic "The Role of Solidarity in the Revival of Karabakh."

The meeting, organized by the Karabakh Revival Fund , was attended by the Chairman of Executive Board of Karabakh Revival Fund Rahman Hajiyev, the Rector of Azerbaijan State University of Economics, member of the Karabakh Revival Fund Supervisory Board, Adalat Muradov, a member of the Milli Majlis (National Assembly of Azerbaijan), member of the Karabakh Revival Fund Supervisory Board, Fatma Yildirim, as well as the professor-teaching staff and more than 300 students of UNEC.

In his opening speech at the event, the Rector of Azerbaijan State University of Economics, Adalat Muradov, stated that one of the main tasks before us after the magnificent victory in the Patriotic War is to transform the victory into all spheres of our life.

According to the Rector, young people and students also bear great responsibility in this field. They should contribute to the restoration of the liberated territories with their innovative ideas and interesting initiatives. He proposed the creation of a initiative group consisting of young people at the university in this regard.

Stating that the revival of Karabakh is a national issue, the rector called on every patriot to actively participate in this work.

Then, a video titled "Urbicide in Karabakh" prepared based on the materials of the "Karabakh.Center" internet resource, with the idea of Azerbaijan Republic's First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, was demonstrated.

Following that, the President of the Board of Directors of the Karabakh Revival Fund, Rahman Hajiyev, made a presentation.

R. Hajiyev noted that after the historic victory of the Azerbaijani army, led by the Supreme Commander, President Ilham Aliyev, in the 44-day Patriotic War, a new mission emerged before us - the restoration and rebuilding of the liberated Karabakh:

"The scale of destruction in the liberated territories is beyond measure. Armenians compare our destroyed cities not only with our residential areas but also with the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were wiped out by atomic bombs during World War II. Vandalism has been committed not only against our residential areas but also against our historical and religious monuments. However, despite the complexity of the restoration of the liberated territories, I believe that through solidarity, we can successfully overcome this difficult and honorable task."

Rahman Hajiyev provided detailed information to the participants of the meeting about the main directions of the activity of the Karabakh Revival Fund, the work done, and the projects implemented with the support of the Fund in the liberated territories.

The Chairman of Executive Board emphasized the importance of solidarity in the revival of Karabakh, citing examples of the restoration of cities and other residential areas after the First and Second World Wars.

Rahman Hajiyev, speaking about the role of youth in the revival of Karabakh, said that the regular meetings with students are of great importance in this regard:

"As a fund, it is very important for us to hold regular meetings with students, to learn about their thoughts and suggestions. In the near future, we will prepare a work plan regarding the activities related to the youth. This will provide an opportunity for young people to participate more closely in the revival of Karabakh."

Later, Fatma Yildirim, a member of the National Assembly and the Supervisory Boardl, stated that although rapid recovery and construction work is underway in the liberated territories, there is still much to be done:

"After the victory in the Patriotic War, new opportunities have emerged for the further strengthening of our country. However, despite the end of the war, the information war continues. The peace agreement has not yet been signed. Therefore, young people should be more actively involved in the revival of Karabakh, especially in the information war."

Following the speeches, the meeting continued with discussions and a question-and-answer session. The participants of the event answered numerous questions from the students.

It is worth noting that the Karabakh Revival Fund has previously held informative meetings with the participation of youth and students at Baku State Oil Academy, Baku State University  and Azerbaijan University of Languages. Similar meetings are planned to be held in other educational institutions.
