During the August 11 earthquake in the Iranian province of Eastern Azerbaijan died 1,600 people, not 306, as claimed by the authorities. This was in the interview with Objective TV of the Chairman of the Permanent Council of the World Azerbaijanis Congress Ajdar Tagizadeh.
According to him, the Iranian authorities deliberately delay the delivery of humanitarian supplies to the disaster area. The refusal to accept help from the international community makes the situation even more catastrophic, he said.
Official Tehran pumps hundreds of millions of dollars in the Shiite movements in Syria, Iraq, Palestine and other countries under the guise of humanitarian aid. At the same time, Iranian authorities block assistance to their own Turkic populations.
"The situation is now worse than in the towns of Palestine,” said Taghizadeh.
According to a crusader of the Help Tabriz campaign, Jahangir Yousif, no rescue team works on the site of the earthquake, therefore, the number of victims is likely to increase. Local residents disassembling blockages indicate corruption of the bodies and the sustainable putrid smell, which is the first sign of impending epidemics.
“The tragedy has highlighted the extent of solidarity of Azerbaijanis of the world, from Azerbaijan to Canada and Alaska. It is a single people, for whom pleasure and pain of their compatriots is no alien. If the national spirit is inseparable, then the day of the reunification of the nation is not far,” said Taghizadeh. -17D-
