Tribute paid to martyr Mukhtar Gasimli

On the sixth anniversary of the death of Mukhtar Gasimli, one of the martyrs of the Patriotic War and a former employee of AzerGold CJSC, the Company’s staff visited his grave to honour his memory. During the visit, employees paid tribute to his cherished memory, laid a wreath and placed flowers at his graveside.

Mukhtar Gasimli, who served in the Security Department of AzerGold CJSC, was a reserve officer of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Following the outbreak of the Patriotic War on 27 September 2020, he joined the military and took part in combat operations for the liberation of the Fuzuli region. On 2 October 2020, he heroically lost his life in intense fighting near the village of Alkhanli.

For his personal courage and bravery in carrying out combat missions during the liberation of Azerbaijani territories from occupation, First Lieutenant Mukhtar Gasimli was posthumously awarded For the Motherland and For the Liberation of Fuzuli  medals by the relevant decrees of President Ilham Aliyev.

It is worth noting that another AzerGold employee who took part in the Patriotic War, Rauf Asgarov, also heroically fell in combat operations for the liberation of the Fuzuli district.

AzerGold CJSC honours the memory of all heroes who laid down their lives in the Patriotic War, remembering their sacrifice with profound respect and pride.
