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.
