The delegation led by the Chairman of the Majlisi Milli, the upper chamber of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan Rustam Emomali went to the Alley of Honour on 3 March to honour the memory of our national leader, the architect and builder of the modern Azerbaijani State Heydar Aliyev. A wreath was put before his graveside; the Tajik guests also adorned the tombstone with fresh flowers.

Also, the Tajik delegation put flowers on the gravestone of the prominent ophthalmic researcher Academician Zarifa Aliyeva and paid their respects to her memory.

The fallen warriors’ tombstones were adorned with fresh flowers; a wreath was installed before the Eternal Flame Memorial, too.

 As the guests were enjoying the cityscape sprawling before their eyes, they were told about the history of the Martyrs’ Lane and about the amenity and building work going on around Baku.
 It should be mentioned that the Deputy Chair of the Milli Majlis Adil Aliyev and the leader of the Azerbaijan-Tajikistan inter-parliamentary connexions working group Aydin Mirzazade kept the Tajik fellows company.
