Of the more than 100 judokas who took part in the 44-day Patriotic War, 18 rose to the peak of martyrdom. Our judokas, who voluntarily joined the army and fought as soldiers, were heroically killed in the battles for the integrity of our lands.
One of our brave sons is Jabrayil Dovletzade, who in a short time became the memorizer of the languages of our people. Today, no one in Azerbaijan has not heard or recognized the name of the 19-year-old hero. Jabrayil, a pupil of the judo school in Sumgayit, is one of our heroes, about whom everyone should know, speak, remember and be proud! He took revenge on General Polad Hashimov, the brave son of Azerbaijan, and his comrades-in-arms by destroying an enemy general and colonel alone.
Comrades say that when confronted by the enemy, Gabriel demanded that they return so that their children would not be beheaded. Our heroic soldier was pushed forward on the grounds that he was single to protect his fellow servicemen. He fought alone with about 10 Armenian bandits. He strangled two Armenian officers and killed himself. He was buried in the Second Alley of Honors by the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, near the grave of General Polad Hashimov.
Another martyr of the Azerbaijani judo school is tanker Vusal Damirov. He trained in the Ismayilli region under the guidance of USSR Master of Sports, Honorary Physical Education and Sports Worker Bahman Akbarov and Honored Coach Akbar Shafgatov. He used to be the winner of many regional competitions, club and inter-community judo championships, Baku city open championships, Azerbaijan championship and championship. In addition, Vusal worked as a technical staff member at the ACF Organizing and Conducting Committee.
Vusal Damirov fought heroically and was heroically martyred. After his death, he was awarded the Karabakh Order. Intigam Asgarli, who repeatedly won medals in regional and national competitions as a judoka of the Masalli Children and Youth Sports School, died in the battles for Shusha. His brother Nurlan Askerli was heroically killed in the glorious battles of April 2016. Then Intikham also took part in the battles. This time Intikham was killed in the second Karabakh war. Revenge rose to the peak of martyrdom by fighting heroically in the battles for Shusha. Revenge was buried in his native village of Kalinovka, Masalli region. Although the command instructed Intigama not to take part in the battles for Shusha because he lost his brother in the war four years ago, he protested and fought to the end.
