The journalists also familiarized themselves with the Armenian barbarism in Merdinli village. Armenian vandals have looted and wiped out Azerbaijani villages during the 30-year-long occupation. All houses, social facilities and farms were destroyed. The enemy used the mosque in Merdinli village as a stable for cattle, they demonstrated their hatred against the Azerbaijanis.
