Aliyev Congratulates Molokans on the 200th Anniversary of their Faith

Blogrel has just posted news that the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has met with representatives of the Molokan community on the occasion of the 200th Anniversary of their faith. Blogrel wonders why President Kocharian hasn’t done the same with the 5,000 Molokans living in Armenia.

Incidentally, I just finished an article focusing mainly on education for Molokan children in Armenia for UNICEF and it would be interesting to know what the situation is like in Azerbaijan.
