"The events in our world which influence on humanity have to be shown at cinema, and I consider the actor’s duty to find solutions to the current problems in his profession. Being an actress, I couldn't remain indifferent to the events developing in the world and around me. Also I couldn't remain indifferent to the drama in Syria where the war continues already for six years. I am very glad that I have received a role in the movie by film director Serpil Altin "Learning how to swim", Konul Nagiyeva said.
