BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. First Vice-President
and President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva,
accompanied by her daughters Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva,
familiarized themselves with the project of the Ganja Memorial
Complex. The complex is under construction to honor the memory of
the peaceful civilians who lost their lives due to the rocket
attacks on the city of Ganja by the Armenian armed forces in 2020,
Trend reports.

The foundation stone for the complex was laid by President Ilham
Aliyev on January 30, 2022.

The Memorial Complex will cover an area of 4 hectares. The
museum building will feature two floors, with the main exhibition
hall located on the lower floor. This hall will provide access to
the outdoor area, which will extend along a spiral-shaped wall,
symbolizing the trail left by the rocket impact.

The upper floor of the complex will house a multifunctional room
for events. Additionally, the area will preserve the remains of
buildings struck by rockets.

The construction of the Ganja Memorial Complex is expected to be
completed by the end of 2025.

It is important to recall that during the Patriotic War, the
city of Ganja was subjected to multiple missile strikes by Armenia
on October 4, 5, 8, 11, and 17, using various missile systems,
including “Tochka-U,” “Smerch,” “SCUD,” and others. These attacks
resulted in 26 civilian deaths and the injury of 142 peaceful
residents.
