 | German delegation visits refugees |
Vice-president of German Bundestag Mrs. Antier Follmerin and a group of delegates accompanying German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer in Baku visited the Internally Displaced Persons from Gubadli, Zangilan and Jabrayil provinces that have been settled in a derelict and barely habitable building of the maternity house in Baku.
The guests were led through a semi-dark tunnel to a windowless room in the basement, home to an IDP from Lachin Gulnar Agayev, her husband and their two children. The refugee said her kids are growing up ill in the damp cellar, that her husband’s earning is hardly enough to buy medicines.
Refugees from Armenia and IDPs from Zangilan recalled the days when they were ousted from their homes, bare-feet and hardly dressed.
Asked about her impressions, Mrs. Follmerin said, “It is inconceivable that people should live in such damp cellars”.*
