The determination and will of the Azerbaijani people, economic power, modern army building, and unity of the people and government were important factors for the victory of our country. Inspired by the rich statehood and military history of our great ancestors, the Azerbaijani people proved to the whole world that they were a victorious nation and won a historic victory over the enemy at the end of the 44-day Patriotic war, writing another glorious chronicle of heroism.
Azerbaijan Journalists Network PU, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, “Azerkhalcha” OJSC, and “Tamiz Shahar” OJSC launch a special project on the occasion of the anniversary of the Patriotic War, which is forever engraved in our memories. As part of the social project “Karabakh Ilmelerde” (Knots of Karabakh), our citizens will be offered to tie a knot on “Karabakh carpet” to be transported by a private vehicle to different regions of the country from September 28 to November 1, 2021. The carpet, which will be woven by our citizens within the framework of this social project planned to involve a large number of people both in Baku and in the regions, will reflect the hard work, unity, and equality of every Azerbaijani citizen in the Patriotic war.
A series of videos and short documentary “Karabakh Ilmelerde” will be made during the project.
Employees of “Azerkhalcha” OJSC, who took part in the Patriotic War, also attended the opening ceremony held on September 28, along with the project partners.
