She shared her pride regarding Victory Day and underscored the support provided by First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva to the families of martyrs.

“First Vice-President of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva always pays attention to the families of martyrs. I will never forget her meeting with the families of martyrs. After this meeting, I felt even stronger,” Orujova said.

The event also featured contributions from Narmin Khalilova, a board member of the Public Union for the Support of Martyrs' Families “Zafar,” esteemed Azerbaijani writer and honorary member of the Union of Azerbaijani Writers Eluja Ataly, and Turkish historian Bahadır Güler, who resides in Denmark.
