student in 2008 through the "Korea State Scholarship Program," he
often encountered the words of residents: "I didn't know there was
a country called Azerbaijan; this is the first time I'm hearing
it." Now, he sees that more and more Koreans recognise our
motherland and are happy about it.
Our compatriot gave information about the ancient history,
geography, rich cultural heritage, and Garabagh war of Azerbaijan

region of Azerbaijan, that he became a forced refugee in his native
land when he was 4 years old as a result of the Armenian
occupation, and that he was very happy with the news of the
liberation of our lands from occupation and the restoration of the
territorial integrity of our country. To demonstrate the beauty of
Azerbaijani music, he presented the songs "Bayatilar" and "Give Me
Back My Love" to radio viewers.
