Azerbaijani soldier Rafig Hasanov’s letter have been publicized.

brothers, their wives, uncles and all residents of the settlement! Do
not worry about me! I thought much and decided to return back to my
motherland and my mother. Wait a little. We will meet soon", said in
a letter.

The captive’s mother has also sent a letter to her son.

"Rafig, I wait for you impatiently. Today is your birthday. We
congratulate you on your birthday and wait for your arrival", the

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
