The visit of Norwegian travelers to Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur continues.
As Day.Az reported on Saturday with reference to Trend, an expanded group of the national club of international travelers of Norway “Vagaclub” of 30 people today took a closer look at the Khudaferin Bridge.
Travelers witnessed the destruction caused by the Armenian army during the occupation.
It was noted that due to their connection with historical events of world significance, organic unity with the beautiful landscape, high architectural and engineering solutions and other features, the Khudaferin bridges are monuments of Azerbaijani architecture of universal value.
Historically, one of the bridges on the Silk Road has 15 spans, while the other has 11. The bridges, which are relics of the 12th-13th centuries, testify to the development of high craftsmanship in Azerbaijan during the Middle Ages.
It was brought to the attention of foreign travelers that during the years of occupation these places, like other territories, were destroyed, houses were plundered, and nature was destroyed. Here, the Armenians also desecrated many historical religious monuments, mosques were used as animal stables, and graves were excavated and destroyed.
It was emphasized that after liberation from occupation, life in Eastern Zangezur began to revive, and important projects were being implemented by Azerbaijan.
It should be noted that on May 2, the visit of a delegation of foreign travelers to the territories of Azerbaijan liberated from occupation began. A delegation of 30 representatives of the national club of international travelers of Norway “Vagaclub” is headed by Jorn Ogestad. The delegation will visit Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur for 3 days, moving along the Fuzuli-Shusha-Agdam-Lachin-Jabrail route.
Let us recall that before this, over the past four years, nine visits were made to Karabakh and East Zangezur by representatives of the main travel networks – ETIC, MTP, TCC, NomadMania, as well as the Turkish Travel Club, British Piki Reels, Swedish Club 100.
In total, during the trips, more than 360 international travelers from 46 countries had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the situation in the liberated territories. Through them, millions of people around the world received detailed information about the real situation in Karabakh.

The Koran burning in central Malmö was drowned out by a spontaneous pro-Palestinian demonstration.
– Don’t listen to him. We are Malmö, Mohammad Alokar shouted into a megaphone and got people to leave the Koran burning.
A man and a woman had applied for a three-hour Koran burning on Gustaf Adolfs torg, not in the middle of central Malmö. The woman was the one holding the baton – while the man dragged a Koran on the ground with a leash and burned a Palestinian flag.
After an hour, a Koran was also set on fire while the woman chanted everything possible that could be perceived as humiliating for a Muslim.

Message about children
But it wasn’t their demonstration that got the most attention on Friday night. A few meters from the picket fence, a group of people – children and adults – gathered in a ring. Soon their singing and shouting could be heard all over the square. Two men carried megaphones and shouted pro-Palestinian slogans and messages about the war in Gaza.
– All children are equal! All children have the right to life! All children have the right to life, cried Mohammad Alokar.
He and some friends encouraged people to dance. It resulted in some intense ring dancing to Palestinian music. Someone waved a large Palestinian flag while someone handed out copies of the Koran.
Mohammad Alokar shouted the following message into the megaphone:
– Don’t listen to him. It doesn’t matter what he does. We have the Koran in our hearts!

Left the Koran burning
The result was that a majority of the spectators left the Koran burning. Instead, they gathered around the ring dance – clapping hands and singing along.
Mohammad Alokar tells Aftonbladet’s team that he wants Malmö to be united – without violence. That Jews, Muslims and Christians should be able to coexist in the city and that no Koran-burner should be allowed to destroy that by inciting violence.
– We thought it would be better to have a party instead, says Mohammad Alokar.
If there are more Koran burnings, the idea is to do it the same way next time. The Koran burners should not be allowed to destroy Malmö, he believes.
– Think now, maybe he (the Koran burner ed. note) will stop earlier. He is sad now. We must be one – hand in hand. We build Malmö and we build Sweden.

The man and the woman continued with their demonstration, but there were few listeners.
At 17:58, two minutes before the scheduled time, what may have been one of Sweden’s quietest Koran burnings ended.
Not even a riot grate had shaken.
