An Azerbaijani school is already functioning in London, and the second
one is intended to be opened, the chairman of London-Azerbaijani
Society Taleh Heydarov told Trend.

He stressed that the society has been functioning in London since
2004. "I think that such type of organization assumes a great
importance for Azerbaijan because there are few imagines about
Azerbaijan in the world, especially in Europe. Therefore, our goal
is to present Azerbaijan, its history, culture, etc to British people.

We have held many measures in this direction. Our first measures
was a cultural night of Azerbaijan and more than 200 British people,
including students got familiar with our national music and kitchen,"
Heydarov told.

The second measure was dedicated to Karabakh, to which we had invited
the American journalist Tomas Golth who has seen the horrors of
Khojali tragedy committed by Armenians in 1992. During the measures,
reports were delivered by Azerbaijani ambassador to Britain, former
British ambassador to Azerbaijan Rojer Tomas and Prof. of Edinburgh
University Gulam Rza Sabiri Tebrizi. Besides, the event brought
together more than 100 students, professors and politicians.

Heydarov pointed out that the society has very close relations with
Turkish, Russian and Iranian organizations which support each others.

"We participate in each other’s measures. Yet our relations with Moslem
organizations are inactive, but we will activate them," he said, adding
that together with many organizations, including Anglo-Azeri Society we
have provided assistance to refugees and orphan children in Azerbaijan.

Besides, the chairman of the society mentioned the intention of the
society to actively participate at the forum world Azerbaijani youths
scheduled for August 12 in Baku.
