Azerbaijan trade unions have taken care of another 85 families of martyrs

08 Feb 2021

On September 27, 2020, in response to the provocation of the Armenian armed forces, the counter-offensive operation launched by the Victorious Azerbaijani Army under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev in all directions of the front ended with the victory of our glorious army. 

With the brilliant victory of the Azerbaijani army in the 44-day war, our lands, which had been occupied for almost 30 years, were liberated.
This victory was achieved due to the courage of our soldiers and officers. Today, the state and people of Azerbaijan appreciate the heroism of our soldiers and officers killed in the Great Patriotic War and pay comprehensive care and attention to their families.
Azerbaijani trade unions also always pay attention to solving the social problems of the families of martyrs. The ATUC has taken care of 41 young children from the families of 23 martyrs killed in the Tovuz battles in April 2016 and July 2020. These minors are provided with 150 manat per month until they reach the age of 18.
The Executive Committee of the ATUC has decided to take care of 85 more families of soldiers and officers killed in the Great Patriotic War and to pay 100 (one hundred) manats per month to each family. Thus, the number of martyrs' families under the auspices of the ATUC reached 108.
The Azerbaijan Trade Union Confederation intends to continue to take appropriate steps to improve the social problems of the families of martyrs.
