More than 20 teachers and principals come to the United States from remote regions of Azerbaijan. And they find themselves as part of celebrations of Azerbaijan’s Independence Day here in Washington DC. We did not go in as guests. We dressed up and went to represent. We came in and helped to make it happen. We stayed and presented our heritage and traditions with pride. We danced and invited everyone else to dance with us. Thank you, Ambassador Ibrahim, for making us feel proud of our nation, our independence and our victory last evening!
