Heydər Əliyev – 103. Bugün müasir Azərbaycanın banisi Ümummilli Lider Heydər Əliyevin anadan olmasının 103-cü ildönümüdür. Ulu Öndər Heydər Əliyevi dərin hörmət, ehtiram və böyük şərəflə yad edirik. Dahi şəxsiyyətin nurlu, əziz xatirəsi qəlbimizdə daim yaşayacaqdır. Хейдар Алиев - 103. Днес отбелязваме 103 години от рождението на общонационалния лидер и основател на съвременен Азербайджан - Хейдар Алиев. С дълбоко уважение и признателност свеждаме глава пред светлата памет на великия държавник Хейдар Алиев, оставил незаличима следа в историята на страната. Неговото дело и благороден спомен ще продължат да живеят в сърцата ни. Heydar Aliyev - 103. Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the birth of the founder of modern Azerbaijan, National Leader Heydar Aliyev. We honour the memory of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev with deep respect, reverence, and profound gratitude. The bright and cherished memory of this great statesman will live forever in our hearts.

May 9, 2026 marks the 81st anniversary of the Victory in World War II. On this occasion, we pay tribute to the memory of the soldiers, officers, and civilians of Azerbaijan who demonstrated courage and heroism and endured immense hardships during one of the deadliest wars in human history. The Azerbaijani people made an important contribution to this victory. More than 600,000 Azerbaijani sons and daughters took part in the war, more than half of whom were killed or went missing on the front lines. For the courage shown during the war years, 123 citizens of Azerbaijan were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and more than 170,000 soldiers and officers were awarded various orders and medals. The brave representatives of our people took an active part in the liberation of many countries from fascism. Azerbaijan’s contribution to the victory through its supply of fuel was invaluable. During the war of 1941-1945, Azerbaijan accounted for more than 70 percent of the oil produced in the Soviet Union, 80 percent of gasoline and 90 percent of motor oils. The vast majority of tanks and planes of the Soviet army, which played a decisive role in ensuring the Victory over fascism in World War II, relied on fuel supplied by Baku’s oil workers. The people of Azerbaijan demonstrated unprecedented labor feats on the rear front, day and night selflessly working to meet the needs of the army. Our fellow citizens donated more than seven tons of blood for the front, and played an important role in supplying troops with food and warm clothing. In the name of the Victory over fascism, Azerbaijan mobilized all its resources. The memory of all our sons and daughters will live forever in the hearts of the Azerbaijani people. We remember their courage, sacrifice, and heroism with deep respect and gratitude.
