An event dedicated to the 149th anniversary of the great writer was held in Jalil Mammadguluzade's house-museum in Nakhchivan on February 22.

Kamala Tahirova, the acting director of the museum, made an opening speech at the event, and said that he was a playwright, writer-publicist, and the founder of the "Molla Nasreddin" school. The eternal rich heritage of him is an example of independence, Azerbaijanism, nationalism and citizenship for yesterday, today, and future generations.

It was noted that Heydar Aliyev, the national leader of the Azerbaijani people, paid great attention to the heritage of Jalil Mammadguluzade, research and publication of his works. Thanks to the national leader, Jalil Mammadguluzade's works have been published massively, and great works have been done to perpetuate his memory.

Then, Saadat Gasimova, the guide of the museum, spoke in detail on "Jalil Mammadguluzade and the Soviet Period" and told about the great writer's activities in this period. It was noted that during that period he faced some difficulties. The great writer came under groundless attacks in the Soviet era. Since 1926, "Molla Nasreddin" magazine had published without his editor signature. During the Soviet era, the 25th anniversary of the publication of the "Molla Nasreddin" magazine was not celebrated.

At the lesson Ramil Orujaliyev, the director of the museum, spoke about "National Leader Heydar Aliyev and army building in Azerbaijan". He said that the formation of Azerbaijan as an independent state, the establishment of the Azerbaijani Army, which is the guarantee of this state, is connected with the name of national leader Heydar Aliyev. One of the most significant services of the great leader in Nakhchivan during 1990-1993 is to ensure security of the autonomous republic, as well as establish the first national Azerbaijan's army forces here. After the national leader was elected the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, important decisions were taken in the direction of army building, and the State Defense Committee was set up in Nakhchivan. On September 15, 1992, the enhanced motorized brigade No.705 was established in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic as a part of the first national army unit. On September 19, 1992, the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic adopted a resolution "On the protection of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and its borders".
