Baku: Fight for life of family of nine

The Muradov’s, a family of nine Azeri’s escaped the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1993 and have had to live in a railway car ever since.
Muradov Agamurad is the eldest of the family and he describes the events:

"We were expelled from our house in Zengilan during the Armenian attack in 1993. We came to Sabirabad that year and we have been living in a railway car since then. We are in a terrible situation. We have no income at all. I have five grandchildren, son, daughter-in-law and husband. The government gives us five kilos of flour every month but we can make nothing with only flour. What we want from the government is to take us out of this car and give us our house. We wait to be given back our land back but there is still no result."

Hansenem is Muradov Agamurad’s wife. She said, "We are using an oven that runs on fuel both to cook and heat. We have no electricity or natural gas. We are fed up with life in a railway car. It is very hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. We are asking the government to take our land back or take us somewhere else. We are dying here each day."
