Baku/18.04.18/Turan: Azerbaijani political immigrants living in Europe are preparing publication a book about the history of the Azerbaijani People's (Democratic) Republic (ADR).
Dutch citizen Gully Jangirova completed the translation into Danish of the brief history of the ADR (1918-1920), which will be published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Republic (May 28).
Expenditures on the publication of the book were collected by the emigrants themselves. This will be a brief overview of the history of education and functioning of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Authors - Adalet Tairzadeh and Dilgam Ahmed.
The same book is translated into Swedish by Saadat Kerimi and will be published in Sweden, and distributed free of charge to schools, libraries and all interested in Azerbaijan.
"Our 50-page brochure is the first print edition about Azerbaijan in Danish and Swedish," Gully Jangirova told Turan agency, adding that she did not think it would be so difficult.
"I discovered for myself an incredible amount of facts that I did not know before. I learned many new names of historical figures. I cried from the fact that 100 years ago, Azerbaijanis sacrificed themselves to ideals, and there are practically no such people in modern Azerbaijan.
I cried because the people who built the country on the ruins of imperialist Russia were destroyed. I was ashamed of the fact that people who once destroyed the memory of our leaders are now in power in Azerbaijan, impersonating the democrats and erasing the memory of the leaders of the AYR," Gully Jangirova said.--0--
