History of Western Azerbaijani Schools under Occupation

Abstract

Beginning in early 1988, Armenians began an open struggle against Azerbaijanis. They managed to carry out the hatred they had harbored for years with the support of Soviet Russia, led by Gorbachev. Armenians attack Azerbaijani villages. Armenians raided Azerbaijani villages and set fire to houses. Thousands of our compatriots were killed in different regions of Western Azerbaijan, hundreds of children were taken prisoner, their wealth was confiscated, and they fled from those lands on a barefoot, bareheaded, snowy day. At that time, thousands of schools with ancient history and rich culture, developing the writing and reading culture of the Azerbaijani Turks, the center of the Turkic-Islamic world, were also occupied, destroyed and burned. The article discusses the emergence of the alphabet in the powerful states of Manna, Atropatena and Albania in the first millennium BC, the role of writing culture in the close relations of these countries with their neighbors, the emergence of the Albanian alphabet, the first Zoroastrian School in the ancient Azerbaijani lands and their madrasas. Finally the secular schools created by the Soviet Union and their destruction during the Armenian occupation.
