As part of a visit to Sabirabad District, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has attended the opening of the Heydar Aliyev Center.
First, President Ilham Aliyev was informed about the conditions created in the Heydar Aliyev Park where the Center is located.
It was noted that as part of the reconstruction project the park has been expanded by 1.5 hectares and now covers an area of 4 hectares. The park has all the facilities for the recreation of residents and visitors. There are four special areas, benches and a musical fountain here. Extensive landscaping work has been carried out and a drainage system put in place. The park has a concert area for 5,000 people and various attractions for kids.
The President of Azerbaijan reviewed the stand reflecting the work done in the district.
The head of state cut the ribbon symbolizing the opening of the Center.
The unique style of the Heydar Aliyev Center imparts further beauty to Sabirabad. The establishment of the Center demonstrates the respect the people of Sabirabad have for the memory of the nationwide leader.
It was noted that the construction of the Center had started in November last year. The floor area of the building is 5,200 square meters. On the first floor of the three-storey building there is an internet café, a dance studio, a conference room and a 3D cinema equipped with a modern sound system. There is a bust of Heydar Aliyev on the second floor, as well as the stands reflecting the sayings of the great leader about Sabirabad and its people. Of particular interest in the exposition hall covering an area of 1,094 square meters are the documents describing the activities of the great leader, his pictures as a child, teenager and student, and fragments of his leadership in Azerbaijan in Soviet years and in the years of independence. A section called "Heydar Aliyev and Sabirabad: 1970-1998" displays photographs documenting the visits of the great leader to the district. The photos show that the nationwide leader always attached special importance to the development of Sabirabad. A clear proof of this is the fact that the great leader visited Sabirabad 15 times. The participation of nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev in the opening of various facilities in the district, his meetings with local residents, intellectuals and workers have left an indelible mark on the people of Sabirabad.
Also of great interest is a "Department on the history of Azerbaijani statehood". It is operated by state-of-the-art systems and equipment.
The exposition hall also has a photo stand describing the political activities of President Ilham Aliyev and his visits to Sabirabad.
It was noted that the Center would operate a mobile showroom where works of local artists will be displayed. The large 330-seat assembly hall has all the conditions for conducting high-level activities related to the political life of the district and important events. The hall is fitted with all the necessary equipment. The Center will operate design, drawing and chess clubs, as well as an electronic library, a photo studio and a language lab.
