As a sign of deep respect to our soldiers and officers, all our martyrs who fought heroically in the war, waved the Azerbaijani flag in our liberated lands, sacrificed their lives for the territorial integrity of our country, by the Order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated December 2, 2020, it was decided to mark the Day of Remembrance in the Republic of Azerbaijan. A series of action plans in this direction was approved at Sumgayit State University.

On September 25, a group of university teachers and students visited the Alley of Martyrs in Sumgayit and laid flowers at the graves of the martyrs.

During the visit, Ramiz Huseynov, Vice-Rector for Humanitarian Affairs, noted that 2020 was a year of pride and victory for the people of Azerbaijan in terms of ending 30 years of longing and liberating the lands held by the enemy. Our 44-day Patriotic War, which began in September under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, resulted in the liberation of our Armenian-occupied lands, Karabakh, for nearly 30 years. About three thousand of our heroes rose to the summit of martyrdom for the freedom of our lands, thousands of our heroes became veterans. Ensuring the social protection of the families of martyrs, war veterans and servicemen, the solution of their problems is an important part of the state policy in our country. In this regard, the staff of Sumgayit State University regularly visits the families of our martyrs and veterans, and is interested in their care.

In the end, it was emphasized once again that our martyrs who died on the way to the Motherland will always live in our hearts. They asked God for mercy and patience for their families.
