The military formations of Armenia committed a terrible act of genocide against the Azerbaijanis
in Khojali. In the May of 1992 they captured Shusha.

State Committee on the Problems of Women-was instituted in conformity with the decree of
the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan of January 14, 1998. In the period of its existence the
Committee was engaged in purposeful activity for the solution of the problems in this sphere. But
the necessity of solution of the problems of family and children together with those of the women
conditioned the organization of a single state institution. In connection with it with the decree
of the President of the Republic of the Azerbaijan of February 6, 2006, the State Committee on
the Problems of Family, Women and Children was set up. This Committee is an organ of central
executive power which implements into life the policy of the state concerning the problems of
family, women and children, and regulation of the problems.
The main plot of the epos has been expressed in 12 tales, or legends. It became known to

.
The power of Azerbaijaniism lies also in the fact that it is able to combine the individual
interests and inclinations with the policy of the state and to protect and maintain the national-
cultural identity of the people.
Thus, the Armenians occupied probably the whole territory of the Mountainous Garabag. Their
next step was the occupation of the district of Lachin which joined the Mountainous Garabag with
Armenia. Then, in the April of 1993 Kelbejer, in the July-October of the same year the districts of
Agdam, Fuzuli, Jabrail, Gubadi and Zangilan were occupied. All the occupied territories form 20
per cent of the whole territory of Azerbaijan.
«Kitabi-Dede Korkut» (The Book of My Grandfather Korkut, epos of the Oghuz Turks)- is the
