“This will not only be a Children's Creativity Center but also a center of friendship and brotherhood between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he met with Azerbaijan's culture and art figures, residents of the city of Fuzuli, and children who will study at the Kurmangazy Children's Creativity Center, Azernews reports.

“Every such project touches the soul of the Azerbaijani people because for 30 years the parents, grandfathers and grandmothers of these children lived with the dream of returning to their lands. And when they returned and saw the devastated Karabakh, completely levelled to the ground, they experienced very bitter feelings. These were the feelings of bitterness mixed with joy because they had returned,” the President noted.
