Today is the Commemoration Day of National Leader Heydar Aliyev.

In connection with Commemoration Day of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum staff headed by the museum director Shirin Melikova visited his grave in the Alley of Honor. The museum staff honored the memory of the architect of modern Azerbaijan and laid flowers on his grave.

On the Commemoration Day, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum presents photo-materials reflecting national leader’s outstanding merits to the development of our national art, especially carpet art both during the Soviet period and Independence years.

His political wisdom, experience as a founder of statehood, a compassionate heart, an interest in arts once again prove the greatness of his personality. Love and care to the Azerbaijani art have become an integral part of the successful political course of worthy successors of his heritage – President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva.

His memory will live forever in the hearts of our people.
