On November 21, Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, and Arzu Aliyeva visited the family of the Azerbaijani National Hero Panjali Teymurov in Astara.

They commemorated the memory of Panjali Teymurov, who was martyred during the April battles, and were also briefed on his services to the motherland, as well as his high professionalism and bravery as a military serviceman.

Subsequently, Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva familiarized themselves with the house-museum built to perpetuate the memory of the valiant martyr.
