Ms Alieva said that her foundation specialized in helping Ukrainian mothers and children who suffered from the Russian invaders: “Another project we are currently working on involves providing psychological assistance to children who suffered from the occupation or kidnapping, in European countries. Next month, we will send the first group. A number of large companies support us in this regard. The foundation deals with humanitarian problems, which include the supply of food and necessities."
“We are originally from Karabakh. My father was born in the Gulabli village of the Aghdam district and unfortunately my family is going through the second war now. At that time, perhaps, Azerbaijan faced even more difficulties than what Ukraine is experiencing now due to luck of social media and world support. There are many similarities between the events in Ukraine and the events that took place in Azerbaijan in the early 1990s. For example, media broadcasts were interrupted in both cases, I can’t compare of course, however the Khojaly tragedy could be called even more tough at some point than the events of Bucha, but unfortunately, very few people know about it. In Ukraine, this information should be shared so that people do not repeat the same mistakes. Russia is acting in the same way, only now we are faced with it, we are only now aware of the issue. My father dedicated his life to helping internally displaced people from Karabakh. He used to bring many people to our home for to recover and my mom and I were taking care of them. Now, when I analyze all this, I understand that this trait is inherited in my blood. Although I haven't lived in Ukraine for 6 years, I'm coming to Ukraine for the 3rd time during the war. We must learn from history. Ukraine better learn from the mistakes of others. Unfortunately, many mistakes have already been made, and now we need to get our land back and punish those who killed and abused our people. I hope that justice will prevail in the end,” the Azerbaijani lady said.
