Tazagul moved with her family in 1993 into a room in the students’ residence at the Technical University in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku.
Sixteen years later, she is now a widow and still living in one room in the residence.
She shares it with her three grown-up children – two of whom have mental disabilities – her daughter-in-law, and a grandchild.
Tazagul and her family are internally displaced people (IDPs) within Azerbaijan – victims of its conflict in the early 1990s with Armenia over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh – an Armenian-controlled enclave within Azerbaijan.
