ATUC sent financial aid to the families of January 20 martyrs

15 Jan 2021

Although 31 years have passed since the bloody events of January 20, 1990, the people of Azerbaijan will never forget their selfless sons and daughters.

On that date, on the orders of the former USSR leadership, the Soviet army entered the capital of our republic, occupied the civilian population, fought for independence, and brutally killed hundreds of our compatriots who were trying to save their homeland from the clutches of foreigners. Our people always cherish the memory of the martyrs of January 20. Their memory is also commemorated every year by trade unions.
The Confederation of Trade Unions of Azerbaijan, as every year, according to the decision of the Executive Committee dated 13.01.2021 on January 15, 2021, each of the families of the martyrs of January 20 (102 families) in the amount of 200 (two hundred) manats, a total of 20400 (twenty thousand) four hundred) manats of aid sent to their addresses by mail.
At the same time, ATUC member organizations will provide assistance to the families of martyrs, provide them with free trips, hold meetings with them and hold other events.
