“I was born in Shirazli village of Vedi district. In 1968, our family moved to the village of Mushkul (Pavlovka) in Khachmaz district. We left our ancestral lands because of Armenian agression and chauvinist politics. Azerbaijanis were not given education, we were not allowed to hold positions, we were insulted and subjected to physical violence. When we left Vedi, we left for Khachmaz district in two wagons.”
