An online meeting of the ATUC Executive Committee was held on August 13. Opening the meeting, chairman of the organization, MP Sattar Mohbaliyev informed about the issues included in the agenda.
Mohbaliyev said that thousands of children were
heroically killed in the fight against Armenian aggression and terrorism. The
Heydar Aliyev Foundation, led by President Ilham Aliyev and Mehriban Aliyeva,
is taking important steps to address the social problems of the families of our
martyrs who died for the integrity of Azerbaijan. In order to solve the social
problems of the families of martyred soldiers and officers, the Azerbaijani
trade unions also took care of the families of many martyrs in the first years
of the Karabakh war and provided them with material and moral assistance from
time to time. It is known that dozens of patriots were killed in the battles of
April 2016 and in the heroic prevention of the attacks of the Armenian invaders
in the border area of Tovuz region in July this year. In order to help the
social problems of the families of these martyrs, the ATUC Executive Committee
decided to take care of 41 minors of 23 servicemen killed on April 2-5, 2016
and July 12-14, 2020. Each child of the martyr's family should receive 150 (one
hundred and fifty) manats per month until they reach the age of 18. Payments
should be made from September 1, 2020.

chairman noted that under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev
comprehensive measures were taken to protect the health of citizens gained work
