Israeli President Yitzhak Duke accepted Azerbaijani Jalal Huseynov, who was military service. As part of the ceremony of summing up the year, the president personally handed the award to 19-year-old Jalala Huseynov.
As the Israeli political strategist told the local media, the owner of the PR agency Roman Gurevich, Jalal Huseynov achieved remarkable success in his life.
“He is the Israeli champion in freestyle wrestling. When it was time to be called up to the army, he refused to serve as an outstanding athlete, and was enlisted as a fighter in terms of border guard. He showed heroism during the detention of dangerous terrorists and For this, the President of Israel awarded him an honorary sign of distinction.
I must say that at the award ceremony at the President there were 39 fighters of units of border guard and police, general inspector of the Israeli police and the Minister of Internal Security of Israel. A surprise was prepared for Jalal Huseynov, his mother came to the award ceremony, and he did not know about it. It was a very touching meeting.
Jalal Huseynov has the citizenship of Israel and Azerbaijan. The fighter of Israel and Azerbaijan received a reward from the hands of the President of Israel on the eve of the birthday of President Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. Even if this is an accidental coincidence, it is deeply symbolic, because this award ceremony symbolizes the deep connection of our peoples, friendship and brotherhood between the peoples of Israel and Azerbaijan. Both of our peoples are able to be friends, these are fraternal peoples, we know how to be friends with our friends and fearlessly fight with enemies.
I also want to add that the family of Jalal Huseynov moved from Azerbaijan to Israel, where he was later born. When Jalal was at the age of age, the family was forced to return to Azerbaijan because of difficulties, because repatriation is not always a simple matter. And at the age of 15, he decided to move alone to Israel. He is now 19 years old. He lives in the city of Or-Akiva. I wish him further success in life and good health, ”said Roman Gurevich.
