Highland Park, the highest point in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan that lies below sea level, offers panoramic views of the city and the Caspian Sea. Its many monuments includes
- Turkish Martyrs Mosque and a memorial area for Turkish soldiers who saved Baku from Armenians in 1918;
- Tombstone of Azerbaijani General Hazi Aslanov, a Soviet hero who fought in WWII;
- Alley of Martyrs with graves of people who died on January 20, 1990, during the “Black January” protests against the Soviet Union - and in the Karabakh War with Armenia.
These visuals are from my visit to Highland Park on May 27, 2024.
