Karabakh's independence must be achieved - Artsakh-resident Azerbaijani
November 23, 2013 | 16:48
A few Azerbaijanis are still left in Karabakh-Nagorno. But because of
the concern that their families in Azerbaijan would be persecuted,
their names are kept secret for a long time.
Irina Kovalchuk writes the aforesaid in her article published at
Segodnya.ua and devoted to her trip to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
(Artsakh).
`They had arranged a meeting for me with a 60-year-old Azerbaijani
women [living in the NKR]. Her Armenian husband had died in the first
days of the [Karabakh] war. The woman had not left [Karabakh] because
of her children, who consider themselves Armenian,' Kovalchuk writes.
`Sometimes I forget that I am Azerbaijani. But a person that does not
respect and love his nation cannot respect and love another nation.
[But] now, Karabakh's independence must be achieved.
`For me, the important thing is my children, and I have stayed here
for their sake.
`The local Armenians have always protected me, and if ours [i.e., the
Azerbaijanis] come, they would first shoot me as a traitor,' the
Azerbaijani woman told Kovalchuk.
The Azerbaijani woman, however, no longer dreams of ever being able to
stroll along her Azerbaijani capital city Baku.
