30 January is the professional holiday of customs officers.
Today marks 33 years since the establishment of the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The holiday was instituted by the order of National Leader Heydar Aliyev dated 10 January 1997.
On the occasion of their professional holiday, customs officers came to the Alley of Honour, paid tribute to the memory of the National Leader of our people, the architect and founder of the modern independent Azerbaijani state, Heydar Aliyev, and laid a wreath at his grave.
The memory of the prominent ophthalmologist and academician Zarifa Aliyeva was also honoured, and fresh flowers were placed on her grave.
Afterwards, at the Alley of Martyrs, the memory of the heroic sons of the Motherland who gave their lives in the struggle for the independence and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan was honoured, and a wreath was laid at the “Eternal Torch” monument.
