Turkish traveler: Establishing Aghali village shows might of Azerbaijani state

The very construction of such a modern and ecologically clean village in a short period testifies to the might of the Azerbaijani state, a member of the Turkish Travelers' Club Association, Saime Ozmekik, told Report's correspondent sent to Zangilan.

According to her, the occupying countries and nations threaten the lands and peoples of other countries: "I am completely anti-war, but fighting to protect the homeland is understandable. We have been on a trip to the liberated territories of Azerbaijan for three days. It saddens me to see destroyed houses. I wish there were no wars and people did not have to protect their land."

Ozmekik was admired by Zangilan's Aghali village: "Today, we opened our eyes to a very different world. We visited Aghali village in the Zangilan district. We all know that after every difficulty, wonderful things happen, and today we saw with our own eyes that this wonderful thing happened. Here we deeply felt how hospitable people are and connected to their homeland. In this regard, we are proud of our brothers."

The trip is of great importance in promoting the liberated areas within the framework of "black tourism". Over the past year, Karabakh and East Zangazur have been visited by international travelers, uniting the world business and tourist elite. Four group trips were organized to Karabakh and East Zangazur at the level of founders, presidents, and prominent members of international travel networks - ETIC (Extreme Traveler International Congress), MTP (Most Traveled People), TCC (Travelers' Century Club), Nomadmania.

As a result of these visits, which are currently the fifth in number, about 200 international travelers from about 30 countries got to know the atrocities, destruction, and large-scale restoration and construction works in the liberated areas. This is of special importance from the point of view of showing the brutality Azerbaijan has suffered over the years to the world community through the eyes of international travelers.

This time, the delegation is headed by the president of the Turkish Travelers' Club Association, Salman Arinc, who is considered one of the 50 main international travelers in the world according to the global rating of Nomadmania.
