“My son's comrades-in-arms said that he died several hours before the liberation of Shushi. Not far from the location of their assault detachment, a shell exploded, the commander and his charges were seriously wounded. Jalil was pulling the wounded commander from the battlefield when another shell exploded near him. My son died heroically saving a friend. Soon Shusha was released. My son's soul rejoices in heaven. May the Almighty rest the souls of all our martyrs, ”Gahraman Mammadov said.
