The Azerbaijani diaspora has reached in much in promoting truth about the Karabakh conflict and bringing it to the attention of the world community.
'The diaspora presented a number of facts to the world about the reality of Azerbaijan, gained much success in bringing the truth to the attention of the world community', head of the State Committee for Diaspora Affairs Nazim Ibrahimov told reporters Thursday.

'Certainly, along with the role of mass media in bringing the truth to the world, it is also necessary to stress the role of the Azerbaijanis diaspora. To bring the Azerbaijani reality, the truth about Nagorno Karabakh to the world community is the main duty of the diaspora unless this conflict is resolved and unless are lands are returned', he added.
The committee chairman spoke about the situation of Azerbaijanis in Georgia.
'The government funds the Georgian language courses for Azerbaijani students in the secondary schools. This year 540 Azerbaijanis enrolled for the Georgian universities. 20 Azerbaijani students were sent to the Northern Cyprus to get education at the Near East University. They will return to Georgia and take positions in the government agencies'.
Nazim Ibrahimov also said 'Justice for Khojaly' campaign will be continued in 2011.
To him, 'Justice for Khojaly' campaign established by the Chairman of All-Russia Youth Organization Leyla Aliyeva will be continued in 2011 as well: 'All Diaspora organizations of Azerbaijan have been informed about it. They will help to introduce this tragedy in the world'.
Ibrahimov said that Azerbaijani and Turkish Diaspora organizations would continue their joint activity against the so-called Armenian genocide: 'There is not Turkish Diaspora in some countries, and our organizations operate in those countries. It does not mean to satisfy Turkey. One nation must not have two Diasporas. That is why we work together'.
