APA reports that Deputy Minister of Education Firudun Gurbanov, a group of foreign students studying at the Azerbaijani universities and media representatives took part in the trip. Gurbanov informed foreign students about the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Speaking about the atrocities committed by Armenians in the Jojug Marjanli village, the deputy minister noted that the village was occupied by Armenian armed forces in 1993. “It was liberated by the Azerbaijani army from the Armenian occupation during the Horadiz operation in 1994.
