National hero of Azerbaijan Mubariz Ibrahimov. Ensign of the National Army of Azerbaijan, National Hero of Azerbaijan

The first material from a series of articles about the national hero of Azerbaijan, warrant officer Mubariz Ibrahimov, published as part of the new initiative of the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign, has been published.

Within the framework of this project, carried out by the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign with information support 1news.az, we present to the readers the “Justice Fighter” Live Journal, written by Azerbaijani and Bolivian authors.

The magazine will tell about the last ten days of Mubariz's life, before the Day when he accepted Martyrdom - the Day of the Shahada and committed his heroic deed. In these ten days, the authors tried to reveal the Hero’s path to the Act of Life, talk about his short but glorious life path, the parents who raised the Hero, and the reasons why a person goes to obvious death for the sake of the ideals in which he believes.

DAYSHAHADA– Preface

Heroism without limits

They say that in life there is always room for achievement. That every person is capable of an act that can perpetuate his name in the eyes of his contemporaries and future generations. Everyone is capable... but only a few decide to undertake a heroic act or feat, who are then called Heroes.

A hero is a person whose life takes on a completely different meaning after committing an out-of-the-ordinary, non-standard act. The hero is not threatened with oblivion, and death for him becomes only a brink, after passing which the Hero becomes part of the collective memory of his people, and sometimes of all humanity.

One of these Heroes, whose life and feat are a role model and can be the subject of close study by various segments of society, was a 22-year-old guy from Azerbaijan with a symbolic name - Mubariz.

The name Mubariz means "constantly struggling" or "implacable fighter." Quite by chance, the story of Mubariz’s feat, which we will describe below, attracted the attention of my friend, the famous blogger from Bolivia, Julian Lugo, who recently visited Azerbaijan.

Julian is also the national coordinator of the international campaign “Justice for Khojaly”. While collecting information on the Internet about the victims of the genocide committed against peaceful Azerbaijanis, he read short information about the feat of Mubariz and the fact that one of the driving motives of the young guy was the enduring memory - psychological trauma - the stories of refugees who survived the atrocities of the Armenian aggression and today live with an enduring pain about the loss of native lands.

A citizen of Bolivia, a distant country in Latin America, was shocked by the story of Mubariz and invited me, an Azerbaijani participant in the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign, to study more deeply the life of this (as Julian called him in his first e-mail) Justice Fighter and convey the truth about the ongoing gigantic injustice against my people through the refraction in the fate of the Hero.

Our motivation was, in addition to paying tribute to the memory of Mubariz, the fact that international institutions and the media, indifferent to the fate of the victims of the Karabakh conflict, were alarmed as a result of this act of revenge. Many foreign blogs, at the instigation of Armenian lobbyists, have already rushed to present Mubariz’s action as another manifestation of “Azerbaijani aggressiveness.” Therefore, the story about Mubariz is also an attempt to tell the world the truth about the Karabakh war, which has been going on for the second decade and is claiming the lives of heroes like Mubariz. The international team of the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign supported our idea and publishes this research on the campaign page on Facebook, translated in 3 working languages of the UN... an organization that has adopted more than one document, but has never done anything to prevent blood from continuing to flow on Karabakh soil... .

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves and start in order, first about our Hero.

FROM THE HERO’S BIOGRAPHY…..

Mubariz Agakerim oglu Ibragimov was born on February 7, 1988 in the village of Aliabad, Bilasuvar region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. From 1994 to 2005 he studied at the school named after Malik Piriev in his native village of Aliabad. From 2006 to 2007 - served in the National Army. In September 2009, he entered the warrant officer course, after which he served in Naftalan and in the front-line zone. On the front line because for about 20 years Azerbaijan has been in an interethnic conflict with the neighboring country Armenia, which has occupied about 20% of Azerbaijani territories.

In the very month when Mubariz was born, the fire of Armenian separatism began to flare up in the neighboring region of Nagorno-Karabakh. As a result of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, called the Karabakh War, that flared up during the collapse of the USSR in the early 90s of the last century, about 25 thousand Azerbaijanis died and over a million were expelled from their native lands. Then several hundred thousand Azerbaijanis were expelled from Armenia en masse, and similar ethnic cleansing of the Azerbaijani population was carried out by Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh and seven occupied regions. The expulsion was accompanied by massacres of Azerbaijanis. Today, virtually every eighth citizen of Azerbaijan is a refugee from Armenia or a forced migrant from Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenian troops.

All these years, between Azerbaijan, on the one hand, and Armenia, and Karabakh, occupied by Armenians, on the other side, there is a front line, where shots are heard every day and information is received about the death or injury of soldiers. Despite the obvious injustice of the current situation, the leading world powers: the United States, Russia and Europe are doing everything to keep Azerbaijan from resuming military action in order to return the lands occupied by Armenia. The world community pays little attention to the fact that for almost 20 years over a million Azerbaijanis have left their native lands, lost loved ones, relatives and are eager to fight to punish the aggressor Armenia.

In such a difficult situation, the current young generation of Azerbaijanis grew up, including our Hero, who chose the profession of a warrior and remained to serve on the Armenian-Azerbaijani front line. On the night of June 18-19, 2010, Mubariz committed his heroic act, which caused increased attention not only in Azerbaijan, but also in neighboring and also countries far from our country.

That night, the Azerbaijani warrior Mubariz took the battle in response to another armed attack by the enemy. Reflecting the attacks of the Armenian armed forces in the direction of the village of Chayli in the Terter region of Azerbaijan, Mubariz Ibrahimov crossed the front line and alone inflicted damage on the enemy forces, which is probably difficult to find in the history of the Karabakh war. Mubariz Ibragimov killed about 50 Armenian soldiers during the ensuing skirmish.

According to unofficial sources and testimony from fellow soldiers, Mubariz blew up a military transport truck, inside of which there was a unit of the Armenian army, and in an unequal battle killed more than forty Armenian soldiers. Breaking through the Armenian positions, Mubariz left 4 more Armenian soldiers killed and 4 wounded. But then he was overtaken by an enemy sniper bullet, but the seriously wounded Mubariz continued the battle and held off the enemy. With weapons in hand, our Hero fought to the last and did not let the enemy come to him. Even after Mubarzi died from his wounds, the Armenian soldiers were still afraid for a long time to approach the body of the Hero, who, as it later turned out, became a real ghost for the Armenians even after his heroic death. But we'll talk about this later.

Let us note that Mubariz’s feat plunged the Armenian side into despondency and confusion. Because of this shameful incident for the Armenian army, as a result of the investigation, two Armenian generals and a number of officers were dismissed. The Armenian side behaved unworthily: having hidden the body of Mubariz Ibragimov, they refused to hand it over to the Azerbaijani side. With this inhumane method, the Armenian side is trying to “fight” the corpse of our Hero. Armenian officials initially reported that Mubariz's body was on the Armenian side. However, then, on July 15, 2010, information was disseminated that the body of Mubariz Ibragimov was never on the Armenian side, and the corpse of the killed Azerbaijani lay in the neutral zone of the front line. Until now, the Hero’s body has not been handed over to the Azerbaijani side; his parents cannot bury the body of their son. But this only increased the fame of Mubariz's heroic deed. The media from around the world began to talk about him, the house of his parents became a real place of pilgrimage, where people from all over the country flock to express gratitude and support the Hero’s parents.

By decree of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, warrant officer Mubariz Ibrahimov was posthumously awarded the title of National Hero of Azerbaijan. The Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on perpetuating the memory of M.A. Ibragimov also states:

“In order to perpetuate the memory of the National Hero of Azerbaijan Mubariz Agakerim oglu Ibrahimov, I make the decision:

1. To grant the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan to name one of the secondary schools in the Bilasuvar region after Mubariz Ibrahimov.

2. Provide the executive power of the Bilasuvar district to name one of the streets in the Bilasuvar district after Mubariz Ibragimov.

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

The heroic act of Mubariz Ibragimov has already become the subject of study for military experts and specialists from various fields. But I think it is of particular interest to try to study and convey to the general public the motives, inner experiences and inner world of our Hero. Undoubtedly, readers all over the world will be interested in getting to know our 22-year-old Hero, who immortalized his name with a heroic act that has no analogues in the world.

Driven by the same goal, we decided to conduct this study. As a result, we present to the readers the live journal “Fighter for Justice” (“Justice Fighter” Live Journal). The magazine will tell the story of what Mubariz's last 10 days were like before the Day of Martyrdom - the Day of the Shahada. In these ten days, we tried to reveal the Hero’s path to the Act of Life, talk about his short but glorious life path, the parents who raised the Hero, and the reasons why a person goes to obvious death for the sake of the ideals in which he believes.

This year, the National Hero of Azerbaijan, warrant officer Mubariz Ibrahimov, would have turned thirty years old. He did not live to see the milestone for eight years - he died at the age of 22. Vestnik Kavkaza will try to analyze why Mubariz died and what he fought for in this article.

At the end of 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. The country was destroyed on the initiative of the central authorities, and not the union republics, where the initiative coming from the center was perceived very warily. The peoples of Transcaucasia, Central Asia, the RSFSR, Ukraine, Belarus and other republics at one time made a huge contribution to the strengthening of the USSR, fought shoulder to shoulder against Nazi Germany, defending the honor of the country, liberating the occupied Soviet territories and heroically continuing the offensive, passing through the entire Eastern Europe , defeated the enemy in Berlin.

Just remember the fighters of the 416th Infantry Division, which consisted mainly of Azerbaijanis. The 1054th and 1374th regiments were formed in Agdam, the 1373rd regiment in Geokchay, and the 1368th regiment in Sumgait. At the end of April 1945, the 416th Division was one of the first to break into the outskirts of Berlin, stormed Strausberg, crossed the Spree, and broke into the enemy stronghold - the Kaiser Wilhelm Palace. At the beginning of May, soldiers of the 416th Division captured other strategic points and hoisted the banner of victory over the Brandenburg Gate. Add to this the fact that 90% of the oil products used for military purposes were supplied by Baku, and the contribution of the Azerbaijan SSR to the Victory will become obvious.

In 1991, Moscow granted independence to all union republics, but Azerbaijan’s sovereignty turned out to be incomplete. This was facilitated by the policy of Mikhail Gorbachev (it is surprising that this man has not yet been convicted for his actions), aimed at inciting national conflicts, which became one of the main reasons for the collapse of the huge country. The result of this kind of policy was a confrontation that turned into a war stage in some territories. The instigators of these conflicts were henchmen of Gorbachev’s clique, acting through the hands of a criminal rabble who had certain skills for these purposes.

The beginning of the armed confrontation in Nagorno-Karabakh was preceded by the events of 1987-1988, which began with the dismissal of Azerbaijanis from work in the cities of Nagorno-Karabakh, including Stepanakert. All this was part of a larger plan by security forces and officials who held high positions both in party structures and in the KGB. The second point of this plan was the eviction of Azerbaijanis from Armenia. All this was followed by an open confrontation, inflated according to a clear scenario by the KGB and foreign specialists interested in the collapse of the USSR.

They managed to start a large-scale war, helping first one side or the other of the conflict that broke out. They helped selectively, taking into account the internal balance of power and forecasts as to who would more obediently fulfill the demands of the center. It was a question of accepting conditions corresponding to the semi-colonial status of the republics. The result of this policy was the occupation of more than 20% of the land of Azerbaijan and more than a million people who were forced to leave the lands of their ancestors.

Can people who fought for their common homeland and defended it in 1945 agree with the loss of the land where they were born, raised, where their fathers and grandfathers are buried? Can they come to terms with the barbed wire that separates them from their native land? Are there many Azerbaijanis for whom material well-being means nothing in comparison with the honor of their families and the nation as a whole? A lot of! A striking example of this is Mubariz Ibragimov.

As a result of a shootout provoked by the Armenian armed forces on June 18, 2010 near the village of Chayli in the Terter region of Azerbaijan, 22-year-old warrant officer of the national army Mubariz Ibragimov entered into an unequal battle with Armenian servicemen, destroying four aggressors and wounding four more at the cost of his own life.

When Mubariz did not return to the military unit, suspicions arose that he had deserted. The commanders found the ensign’s father, who told them: “My son would never run away from the army.” If he is not there, then look for him in enemy territory. He went to fight."

The father's words turned out to be prophetic. It later turned out that Mubariz’s body remained in the territory controlled by the occupiers after the end of the battle.

Before entering the battle, the ensign left a letter to his parents: ″My dear mother and father, don’t miss me. My heart breaks in these difficult days for my Motherland. I'm going against the enemy. If I become a martyr, then don’t cry, but be happy for me that I was able to reach this level. Long live the Motherland! Your son Mubariz."

Armenia handed over the body of Mubariz Ibragimov only two months later. His hands were still tied. It seems that the occupiers were afraid even of a dead hero. So great is the strength of people who are ready to die for their native land, so that the occupiers leave Karabakh and other territories of Azerbaijan.

Today Baku stands for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but we should not forget that the Azerbaijani army is armed with the most advanced weapons, and the Azerbaijani people have sons like Mubariz Ibrahimov, who are ready to fight to the bitter end for the liberation of their homeland. These are the great-grandchildren of those who beat the Nazis on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War, who supplied oil to the front, without which not a single tank would have moved, not a single plane would have taken off, which, in the conditions of a war of engines, would have meant the defeat of the USSR, which was surrounded by the enemy.

It is worth noting that the national policy of today’s Azerbaijani leadership is fundamentally different from the policy of the current leadership of Armenia, which came to power on nationalist slogans from the “Armenia for Armenians” series. If 150 thousand Russians live in Azerbaijan today, then in Armenia there are only 15 thousand of them. The preservation of Russian kindergartens, secondary schools and Russian sectors in all universities means that not only the current generation speaks Russian, but today’s people will also speak Russian schoolchildren, because Azerbaijan sees its future together with Russia, where the largest Azerbaijani diaspora lives.

This is the best answer to all those who sow seeds of doubt and scare Russia with the idea that the solution to Azerbaijan’s territorial problem will lead it somewhere away from Russia.

Today, only Armenians live in the occupied lands, recognized by the whole world as the territory of Azerbaijan, the infrastructure there is completely destroyed, and the territory is disfigured by destroyed buildings reminiscent of post-war Minsk and Stalingrad.

Azerbaijan is ready to restore these lands, just as it did with the village of Jojug Marjanli liberated in April 2016.

The solution to the Karabakh problem through peaceful means will have to begin with the withdrawal of occupation troops from Azerbaijani lands. All citizens of the republic, including Armenians, who lived together with Azerbaijanis in peace and friendship for many years, can live peacefully on the liberated and restored lands. The Azerbaijani authorities and people are able to guarantee the peaceful cohabitation of all peoples on this land, regardless of nationality and religion.

Mubariz Agakerim oglu Ibragimov(Azerbaijani Mbariz Aakrim olu brahimov; February 7, 1988 - June 19, 2010) - ensign of the National Army of Azerbaijan, National Hero of Azerbaijan.

Biography

Mubariz Ibragimov was born on February 7, 1988 in the village of Aliabad, Pushkin district. From 1994 to 2005, he studied at the school named after Malik Piriev in the village of Aliabad. In March 2006, Mubariz was called up for active military service by the military commissariat of the Bilasuvar region.

On November 20, 2007, Ibragimov was discharged from active military service to the reserve as a subgroup commander, but on September 18, 2009, he was again accepted into active military service at his own request and completed warrant officer training courses at the Training and Education Center of the Armed Forces. After graduation he served in Naftalan.

Death

Official Azerbaijani and Armenian versions

The Azerbaijani news agency APA reported that Ibragimov died while repelling attacks by the Armenian armed forces, another - that he died during shelling of Azerbaijani positions by Armenians. According to the Armenian media, during a sabotage and reconnaissance attack on posts of the Armenian armed forces. Mubariz Ibragimov's body remained in the zone under the control of Armenian forces (later the Armenian side handed over Ibragimov's body to Azerbaijan). It was reported that during the clash the Armenian side lost more than 4 and wounded soldiers. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense placed responsibility for the clash on the front line between Armenian armed forces and the Azerbaijani military on the Armenian side, and the Armenian side placed responsibility on the Azerbaijani side.

According to Carnegie Endowment spokesman Thomas de Waal, "Circumstantial evidence suggests that this clash was more likely the result of an Azerbaijani attack (the body was on the Armenian side), but the true picture will probably never be known."

Body

The next day after the incident, the Azerbaijani news agency ANSpress reported about Ibragimov’s funeral; this message was immediately copied by a number of other media outlets. This message was subsequently removed from the ANSpress website. However, the situation surrounding the body of the deceased serviceman has become controversial. On July 7, Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova appealed to the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, asking for assistance in returning the body of the deceased soldier. The Armenian side stated that it had not received an official request regarding the return of the body. On July 15, the head of the information and propaganda department of the Ministry of Defense of the unrecognized NKR, Senor Hasratyan, in a conversation with an ARMENIA Today correspondent, said that the body of Mubariz Ibragimov was never with the Armenian side, and the corpse of the murdered Azerbaijani lies in the neutral zone. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense questioned this statement, noting that the Armenian side recently justified the reason for the non-return of the body of the deceased by the fact that the Azerbaijani side did not contact them about this. At the same time, the statement of the Armenian side, which was referred to by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense, did not mention the presence of the killed soldier in the territory under its control.

On July 17, commenting on Azerbaijani media reports regarding the refusal to hand over Ibragimov’s body, Senor Asatryan made a statement in which, citing Azerbaijani news agencies, he claimed that the soldier was buried by the Azerbaijani side two days after his death. At the same time, adding that “in this context, the Karabakh side can do nothing to help the Azerbaijani side in the issue of handing over an already buried body.” According to the Azerbaijani side, on August 3, 2010, on the social network Odnoklassniki, a user with the fictitious name Tehler Yan posted photographs similar to the murdered Mubariz Ibragimov. In this regard, the Baku office of the International Committee of the Red Cross contacted the central office of the structure. In turn, the Armenian media suggested that the appearance of a photograph of the alleged corpse of a man similar to Ibragimov was an Azerbaijani provocation.

On the Odnoklassniki social network, Armenians, contrary to all ethical norms and universal human values, published photographs of the body of the National Hero of Azerbaijan Mubariza Ibragimova. By publishing dirty comments, Armenian users once again demonstrated their true colors, their disrespect for the dead is evidence of fear even of the deceased Azerbaijani hero.

About two months passed, but contrary to all international conventions, the Armenians did not hand over to the Azerbaijani side the body of the Azerbaijani serviceman, who remained in the territory of Karabakh occupied by Armenia. Even the demand of the International Committee of the Red Cross did not help. And now they have distributed these photos, which, due to ethical considerations, we cannot publish in the material...

This fact is an attempt at an informational and psychological attack by Armenians on Azerbaijani society, in which the feat of Mubariz Ibrahimov has become an example for young people, says member of the Security and Defense Committee of the Milli Majlis, deputy Zahid Oruj.

“Social networks have a great influence on the consciousness of people and the Armenians, by publishing these photos, are trying to exert an informational and psychological attack on Azerbaijani society, in which the feat of 22-year-old Mubariz Ibrahimov has become an example for young people. As always, with this fact the Armenians showed their inhumane face and think, that in this way they can somehow take revenge. This is unacceptable and goes against not only international norms, but is also evidence of the violation of all moral norms and moral values," Zahid Oruj told Trend Life.

According to the political scientist Rasima Musabekova, It is necessary to take measures to ensure that such facts do not recur in the future.

“It is necessary to send a letter to the Odnoklassniki administration demanding that they delete these photos, since this fact violates all ethical standards. Moreover, make sure that other scoundrels no longer distribute these photos on social networks and websites,” - Rasim Musabekov told Trend Life.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan considers the distribution by the Armenian side of a photograph of the body of the deceased warrant officer of the national army Mubariz Ibrahimov a violation of international law and calls this fact another demonstration of the duplicity of the Armenians. The deputy head of the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan told Trend about this on Tuesday. Teymur Abdullaev.

“Most likely, international structures will take control of the issue with photographs and intensify investigations,” Abdullaev said.

“It’s as if the Armenians are trying to take revenge on a dead person. This is monstrous and contrary to all human laws. I simply have no words to express how low their behavior is. The whole of Azerbaijan is proud of Mubariz Ibrahimov. This event awakened the youth, his heroic act is discussed in personal blogs and on Internet forums. This guy revived the spirit of patriotism in our country and showed everyone that we cannot be broken so easily,” said a member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, deputy Ganira Pashaeva.

He died defending his homeland - he died heroically!

From a letter from Mubariz Ibragimov to his parents:

" Dear Mom and Dad. Every evening I look towards the occupied territories, and my heart breaks at the sight of lands devastated by the enemy. In every house there there used to be a light on, and people’s voices could be heard. And now in that direction there is only dead, ominous silence, which constantly reminds me of how the enemies violated my Motherland.Don't miss me. If I die, don't cry, be proud that I managed to reach this level. My heart breaks in these difficult days for my Motherland. I will go against my enemies to the last. We will meet you again in heaven. Long live the Motherland! Your son, Mubariz "

Mubariz was born in the small village of Aliabat, Bilasuvar region, into a deeply religious family. Since childhood, he was a brave guy, seriously engaged in sports and chose the path of a warrior and martyr. Today his house has become a place of pilgrimage for people, the flow of which never ends. Thousands of people come to express their pride in this brave guy, flocking from all regions of Azerbaijan. In the courtyard of the Ibragimovs’ house there is a table with photographs of a young guy who did not even have time to start a family, but gave his life for the liberation of his homeland from the Armenian occupiers. There is also a notebook, the pages of which are filled with hundreds of confessions to the hero of their country. TO A REAL PERSON!

His parents no longer cry - in their last, farewell letter, their son asked not to shed tears, but to be proud of him. Only the mother, secluded from everyone... She's the mother...

Shamama Ibragimova - mother of the hero:"I am proud that I am the mother of such a son. If he were born again, I would again want him to participate in the battles and destroy even more Armenians. This was his dream. I am sure that he achieved his dream, and therefore his soul rests with the world. My son had tremendous willpower. He always fought to achieve the goal he set for himself. Mubariz sought to end the Armenians once and for all. He was always involved in sports, since the third grade he was involved in boxing and wrestling. Since childhood, he loved action films. Lately he has been constantly saying: “I have to be healthy, I can’t get sick. I will need this to fulfill my dream." It hurts me very much, but despite this, I am proud of my boy. He died like a hero."

Mubariz consciously became a martyr, because for him there was nothing higher than the freedom of the Motherland.

“Mubariz seemed to know that he would leave young; every time there was talk about marriage, he laughed it off, saying, I don’t want to make anyone unhappy,” says Shamama Khanum.

Father of the National Hero Agakerim Ibragimov recalls his last conversation with his son:

“For the last six months, Mubariz asked me for blessings, but I did not understand his thoughts. The last time he asked me for blessings again, I gave blessings to my son. I wished him to achieve his dream. In response, Mubariz asked me to wish him martyrdom. Only “, a few days later, when we heard the news that he had become a martyr, I understood why he asked me for blessings.”

He spends the whole day in the yard, meeting people coming from all over Azerbaijan. Father of a soldier! With sorrow in your eyes and pride on your face!

“A lot of guys come to us, some of them are very young. Each of them says that they would like to become the same as our Mubariz.”

Let us recall that as a result of a shootout provoked by the Armenian armed forces on June 18 near the village of Chayli in the Terter region of Azerbaijan, warrant officer of the national army Mubariz Ibragimov entered into an unequal battle with Armenian servicemen and, at the cost of his own life, destroyed four aggressors and wounded four more... By order of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on July 22, Mubariz Agakerim oglu Ibragimov was awarded the title of National Hero. The President ordered to ensure that one of the secondary schools and one of the streets in the Bilasuvar district is named after the National Hero Mubariz Ibrahimov. At the initiative of deputy Ganira Pashayeva, filming of a documentary film dedicated to the life of Mubariz has already begun.
