From 1993 to October 2020, Jabrayil district was occupied by Armenian forces that abandoned these bridges. Since October 18th, the Azerbaijani forces took back control of the region and of these historical and symbolic monuments.
I was in Azerbaijan looking at the beautiful ancient Khudafarin bridges following their line my eyes crossed the Aras river and reached to Iran a country I haven’t been to since the day I left in 1981.
In Jabrayil, families will be able to see the land they come from for the first time in 27 years.
