Because…” A lot of information was given in the media about the martyr Mubariz Ibrahimov, the national hero of Azerbaijan. Extensive articles have been written about his martyrdom and childhood memories. In this interview, we will touch on the points that are not mentioned about him, the points that are not written. Thus, our interviewee is Rashad Hasanli, Mubariz's comrade-in-arms, his friend, who got to know him personally and was a live participant in the information spread about him. You will hear the most accurate information about Mubariz from his language... - Hello, Rashad. -Hello. Coshgun: First, let's start with the fact that where and how did you meet the martyr Mubariz Ibrahimov for the first time? Rashad Hasanli: My first acquaintance with Shahid Mubariz took place in the frontline. I met him for the first time on the front line. It was the first time that I had the chance to observe the frontline life of a martyr before his martyrdom, and it is also the first time that I am sharing my memories of a martyr with you. Emil: In which region did you serve? Rashad Hasanli: In Borsunlu. -Which day is the day when the fighter was martyred? - Mubariz was martyred on July 18. – How long did his body stay on the enemy side? – Four months. Coshgun: You didn't know when Mubariz left? Why did he go alone? Rashad Hasanli: No, we did not know when he left. Alone, without anyone's knowledge, he attacked. – Some criticize Mubariz, why did he take this step without the permission of the commander, what is your answer to this? – Yes, I also saw some wrong information about this in the press.But let me note that those who think like this should pay attention to one issue that the ceasefire was repeatedly violated by the Armenians that day. The fighter went as a response to those who violated this ceasefire and became a martyr... In other words, permission was not needed here . Emil: And when did you find out about the martyrdom of Mubariz? Rashad Hasanli: The morning of the martyred night. Coshgun: And where did you find the will? Rashad Hasanli: He left his clothes behind. The will also came out of the pocket of his clothes. Emil: Approximately what time of day did the fighter attack? When was the ceasefire broken? Rashad Hasanli: Mubariz had performed the evening prayer. Meanwhile, the truce was repeatedly violated by the enemy. As he mentioned in his will, he did not endure the difficult days of the homeland. And went to answer… - How did you first develop a closer relationship with him? - The fighter was praying. On the day he came to serve in Borsunlu, he asked his fellow trencher, who was guiding him, this question on the way: "Will it be possible to pray on the front line?" I really want to pray there too!" The question he asked me when we met for the first time was about prayer. Then pray threeHe asked me to show him a suitable place. That's how our relationship was born. We would sit and talk. He performed his last prayer at that place and left. Coshgun: How was reading, was he reading a book? Rashad Hasanli: Yes, he was reading. He loved reading. He often closed the door behind him and remained lonely and withdrawn. Emil: How was the religious world meeting? Rashad Hasanli: Although he did not have a deep religious world view, his thoughts about God were unusual. He always said: "See how great God is, that he writes what we do for ourselves as a reward..." Exuberant: How long was your break with the enemy? Rashad Hasanli: There was a gap of 25 meters between us and the enemy. The enemy broke the ceasefire. We shot for half an hour... – Approximately how many Armenians did the fighter kill? -close to 50. Emil: Did he only use a machine gun? -Yes. At night, when they did not expect it, 50 people attacked and made Armenians go to hell. Coshgun: Didn't the Armenians take revenge on you later? The fighter had killed 50 people, didn't they take revenge? Didn't they attack? Rashad Hasanli: Why did they attack? As revenge for the 50 people killed by the fighter, they attacked from another region, Fuzuli, and one Azerbaijani soldier was martyred. – How did Farid decide to attack? – Armenians did not give Mubariz's body. A few months later, Farid attacked with another friend to bring Mubariz's body. Emil: And he was also martyred? -Yes. – Farid did not succeed, but how was the body recovered later? - Later, when the cease-fire was violated, Armenians also crossed over to Azerbaijan. They gave the dead body of that Armenian and took Mubariz's body. – Was the fighter a regular soldier or not? - No, he was an ensign... He had a good reputation in the military. – And how was the behavior of the ensign with the soldiers? Didn't hurt them? - No, he was very kind. He said I can't hurt you. The greatest desire of the fighter was to have people praying in the trench. He wanted the border to be protected by those praying. Coshgun:- I wonder why exactly those who pray? - He said that those who pray know the specific enemy, they know who they are fighting with. One can trust those whose hearts beat with the love of God... – In the articles in the press, they write that the fighter is engaged in boxing... – Yes, he was also a boxer. Armenians called Mubariza Rambo. As I mentioned, the distance between us and the trench was 25 meters. We could hear each other's voices and understand what we were talking about. After the martyrdom of the fighter, the Armenians shouted and told us that Rambo is with us... Emil: The fighter was also a volunteer soldier... Rashad Hasanli: Yes. He had finished his military service. Later, he volunteered as a soldier. When we first met, I asked him how long his service was. How long do you want to stay here? He rolled his eyes and replied, "We will stay here forever"! – Did Mubariz ever talk about worldly desires? After all, every young person has his own dreams. Getting married, having a family, having children, etc. How did the fighter not have such dreams? - No, he wasn't talking about it at all. These topics seemed to be foreign to him. Coshgun: We tired you Rashad, you should forgive us. I ask my last question. This question interests me more than birth. I wonder if any of his relatives or friends were martyred by the Armenians? In other words, was it only God and love of the country that pushed him to become a martyr? Maybe the Armenians killed one of their relatives? Did he go and become a martyr for revenge? Rashad Hasanli: I used to think so too. I told you earlier, he told me that I am here for life. I also thought that probably some of his brothers and relatives were martyred by the Armenians, and he is saying this for their revenge After all, his military service was over. He joined the army voluntarily. Later it turned out that no, it's not like that at all. Mubariz has two brothers. They are from Bilasuvar district. And none of his relatives were martyred in the war. Mubariz considers all his Azerbaijani sons as his brothers. martyred for. To avenge them. His testament is proof that I say these things. – Thank you Rashad for an interesting interview. You have given us interesting information. You touched on the unknown… – Thank you too, Mubariz fulfilled his duty, became a martyr, it is our duty to talk about his heroism. Emil: Yes indeed it is. Dr. Ali Shariati has a beautiful sentence. It is appropriate to say it about Mubariz as well. So Mubariz acted like Huseyn, and we should be Zeynab. That is, let's spread the main goals of this testimony to the world... Coshgun: Indeed, the salvation of Karabakh lies in the existence of our youth who were brought up in the spirit of martyrdom like Mubariz, who formed their patriotic feelings in this spirit... Emil: We need hundreds of fighters so that we can start the fight against the enemies of the country with the hope of complete victory!
