Today is the birthday of Aliyar Novruzov, one of the first founding officers of the Shamkir Self-Defense Battalion. In the early 90s, Aliyar Novruzov was one of the first to take up arms against the planned armed aggression against our country. Under the leadership of Colonel Jahangir Rustamov, he was involved in the training and armament of the first soldiers and conscripts of the Shamkir Self-Defense Battalion and the 861st regiment, which began to form in the Daller settlement. Aliyar Bey also participated in the disarmament of the Shamkir airfield from the Russians, the Bashkend operation,
