Mübariz İbrahimov

Mübariz Ağakərim oğlu İbrahimov (born February 7, 1988 , Əliabad , Azerbaijan ; † June 19, 2010 , Çaylı , Azerbaijan) was an Azerbaijani soldier. He died in a skirmish that broke out on the Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire line in 2009 .

Military career and death

After completing his secondary education in 2005, İbrahimov was drafted into the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from 2006 to 2007 . In September 2009 he entered the courses for officers , after which he worked in Naftalan . On June 19, Mübariz İbrahimov was killed in a battle on the front between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh . According to Turkish media , he is said to have killed 45 Armenian soldiers in the battle. Armenian media reported that İbrahimov killed four soldiers and wounded four security guards. The battle is said to have lasted five hours and into the early hours of the morning.

A press release from the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense said that İbrahimov died fighting Armenian soldiers in Chayli village. However, the Armenian side stated that İbrahimov was shot in the Armenian-controlled territory and that the fight was provoked by the Azerbaijani armed forces. İbrahimov's body remained under Armenian control for 141 days. Azerbaijan Defense Ministry spokesman Teymour Abdullayev claimed that "Armenia has repeatedly claimed that the soldier's body is not in their hands and they do not refrain from misleading international organizations". According to Azerbaijani sources, photos showing İbrahimov's body were posted on the Internet on August 2 by the Armenians. The Azerbaijani authorities asked the ICRC International Committee to mediate in the return of İbrahimov's body. Later, the Patriarch of the Armenian Apostolic Church Karekin II asked the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan to bring the body back to Azerbaijan. Finally, the body was returned to Azerbaijan on November 6th, following the agreement reached by the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Astrakhan in October 2010. İbrahimov was buried in Baku's Second Avenue of Honor . Azerbaijani President İlham Əliyev attended the funeral .

Honors

The Azerbaijani government has attributed the deaths of five Armenian soldiers and three wounded security guards to İbrahimov and has posthumously awarded him the title of "National Hero of Azerbaijan".

On July 22, 2010, President İlham Əliyev signed a decree granting İbrahimov the status of a national hero. The Cabinet of Ministers has the power to ensure the designation of one of the secondary schools from Biləsuvar to İbrahimov and the executive power of Biləsuvar has the power to ensure the designation of one of the streets after İbrahimov. A documentary about his life was also proposed by MP Ganira Pashayeva . On June 15, 2011, a four-meter-high granite statue of Ibrahimov of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan was unveiled in front of the school named after him .

An Armada-class tanker in Turkey also bears his name. The 12.7x108 caliber Mübariz İstiqlal sniper rifle is named after him. In the fleet of the Turkish oil shipping company Almali Group, one ship was given the name Mübariz İbrahimov.
