Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company: Today is National Revival Day of Azerbaijan Today is National Revival Day of Azerbaijan ================================================================================ Fatima Mirzayeva on 17 November, 2009 13:47:00 On November 17, 1988 Azerbaijani people began struggling against unfair position of the former Soviet power and anti-Azerbaijan policy of former rulers of the republic. The people openly condemned Qorbachov who supported Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan, and demonstrated to the world that they were ready to struggle for territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country. Being troubled about strong will of the Azerbaijani people, the Soviet empire committed sabotages and tried to break their will by committing massacre against civilians from the night of 19th to 20th of January, 1990. But due to great fore runner Haydar Aliyev’s efforts of delivering truths about Azerbaijan to the world community, a struggle started against national discrimination and moral terror became an International Liberation Movement. www.itv.az
