Ilham Aliyev visited the Vitkov National Memorial in Prague

As part of a state visit to the Czech Republic, President Ilham Aliyev has visited the Vitkov National Memorial in Prague.

Located in the old part of Prague, the National Memorial on Vitkov Hill was built in 1929-1938. The statue of military commander Jan Zizka, who won a difficult battle in 1420, has been erected on the hill, which is the highest point of the city.

National anthems of Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic were played.

President Ilham Aliyev laid a wreath at the statue.

Then the head of state signed the commemorative book of the Vitkov National Memorial. When reviewing the museum, the President of Azerbaijan was informed that the memorial reflects the heroic history of the Czech Republic. The bigger part of the museum’s exhibits are dedicated to the liberation struggle of the Czech people. The memory of the representatives of the Czech intelligentsia who marched in the vanguard of the liberation movement is deeply revered here. Visitors of the museum are told about the lives of the heroes.

The exhibition also includes a variety of documents, photographs of historical moments and other exhibits. Every year the museum is visited by tens of thousands of tourists who are provided with detailed information about the liberation struggle of the Czech people.
