Sancar was moved to hear about the attack and suggested to launch a fund for the education of children who were the victims of the war, according to Azerbaijan’s state-run news agency Azertac.
It was noted that Sancar made donations to a bank account opened for Hatice’s education.
Three-year-old Hatice lost both of her parents and toddler sister in a ballistic missile attack of Armenian forces on Ganja on Oct. 17.
At least 26 civilians were killed in two attacks on Ganja during the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Aziz Sancar is a Turkish scientist living in the US. He was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, along with Tomas Lindahl and Paul Modrich for their mechanistic studies of DNA repair.
