BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 9. President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva,
and their son Heydar Aliyev attended the opening of Victory Park in Baku on November 8.
The head of state raised the tricolor State Flag of Azerbaijan
at the park.
They laid a wreath and flowers at the Victory Monument here.
In a decree signed on December 3, 2020, President Ilham Aliyev
instructed the establishment of the Patriotic War Memorial Complex
and the Victory Museum in Baku with the aim of demonstrating to the
public the unparalleled heroism of the Azerbaijani people in the
2020 Second Karabakh War and the historical victory they won,
honoring the sacred legacy of our fallen heroes. Immediately after
the decree, a project for the Patriotic War Memorial Complex and
the Victory Museum was prepared, and construction work began.
On September 27, 2023, Remembrance Day, President Ilham Aliyev
and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva visited the construction site of
Victory Park. On July 24, 2024, President Ilham Aliyev revisited
Victory Park to closely inspect the progress of ongoing
construction.
Nestled along the path of 8 November Avenue, Victory Park
unfurls its vast expanse, a verdant tapestry stretching nearly ten
hectares under the embrace of the sky. The entrance features the
Victory Arch, a symbol of the 44-day Patriotic War, standing 44
meters high, 22 meters wide, and adorned with 44 columns.
At the park's entrance, a memorial monument was erected to
commemorate November 8 – Victory Day, symbolizing both the day of
victory and unshakable unity.
Within the park, the Victory Museum is also under construction.
The museum, accessible from two entry points, will honor the
martyrs of the Patriotic War, with the names of each martyr
inscribed inside.
The park also includes a thematic garden, a cascading waterfall,
the Karabakh Memory Garden, and a general viewpoint overlooking the
entire park. Additionally, the Freedom Flag Square was constructed
within the park.
