Solidarity Day of World Azerbaijanis

Everyone in the Western societies has heard about the famous quote by the US president Ronald Regan on June 12, 1987 next to the Berlin Wall: "Mr. Garbachev Tear Down this Wall!" But not many are aware of another wall of separation erected by the Soviet to divide Azerbaijani nation. The border fence built between borders of the Soviet Union and Iran had separated many families for 70 years. The fence was demolished by Azerbaijani activists on December 31, 1989, two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since then, December 31st is celebrated by Azerbaijanis across the world as the day of solidarity. This radio program by Odlar Yurdu Azerbaijani Radio dedicated to World Solidarity Day of Azerbaijanis. Our guest is Ph.D. candidate at University of British Columbia, Sevinj Asgarova.
