Ilham Aliyev erected a monument to Uzeir Gadzhibekov in Shushe

At the initiative of President I. Aliyev, a monument was restored by the founder of Azerbaijani symphonic music Uzeyirbeck Gadzhibekov.

The monument of U. Gadzhibekov was established in Soviet times, during the first rule of Heydar Aliyev in 1985. However, after the occupation of the city of Shusha, the monument was destroyed.

Sculptor Ahmed Salikov restored the monument to the great composer based on photocidates.
