The participants of the Forth Summer Camp of Diaspora Youth, to be held in Nakhchivan within the “Year of Heydar Aliyev” on the occasion of 100th anniversary of the birth of Heydar Aliyev, the founder of the modern Azerbaijan, visited the Alley of Honor and the Second Martyrs Lane.

The participants of the Camp laid flowers in front of the national leader’s tomb and honored his dear memory. 

Then, the camp participants visited the Second Martyrs Lane and expressed their deep respect to the blessed memory of the heroic sons of Azerbaijan who died for the independence and territorial integrity of our country.

Later, they got acquainted with Heydar Aliyev Center named after the national leader.

Heydar Aliyev Foundation is the partner organization of the Camp to be held between the dates of August 12-18, 2023 in Nakhchivan. The organizational support is provided by the special representation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

More than one hundred youths from 53 countries, including  Azerbaijanis living abroad and representatives of the friendly nations, will attend Fourth Summer Camp of Diaspora Youth, one of the branded projects in the history of Azerbaijani diaspora. Holding the Camp in the ancient city of Nakhchivan, where Heydar Aliyev was born a century ago,  increases the importance of the event.

At the V (Victory) Congress of World Azerbaijanis held in Shusha on April 22-23, 2022, President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev urged all Azerbaijanis living abroad to be in close contact with their historical motherland, to come to Azerbaijan with their families at least once in a year,  not to forget their mother tongue, to learn the history of Azerbaijan, and called the second and third generations of Azerbaijanis to be attached to their culture.

 In this sense, the summer camps of Diaspora Youth can be evaluated as the implementation of the President’s recommendations.

It should be noted that Sheki hosted the First Summer Camp of Diaspora Youth, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 2018, while the Second Summer Camp "Nasimi - 650" was held in Shamakhi in 2019. The Third Summer Camp "Shusha - 270" was held in Shusha, cultural capital of Azerbaijan a year ago.
