The event was attended by state and government officials, members of the Azerbaijani Parliament, family members of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Motherland, participants of the Garabagh War, donors and partners of the Fund, as well as media representatives.

Delivering the opening speech, Chairman of the Board of the Garabagh Revival Fund Rahman Hajiyev provided extensive information about the significance and preparation process of the book "The Revival of Garabagh: The Story of the Azerbaijani Renaissance."
It was noted that this book broadly highlights the history of Garabagh, the period of occupation, its liberation, the reconstruction process, and its outlook for the future by incorporating texts, photographs, as well as interviews with officials, state representatives, experts, and the memories of people displaced from their native lands:
"Covering nearly 500 pages, 'The Revival of Garabagh: The Story of the Azerbaijani Renaissance' is not merely a book — it is a chronicle enriched with texts, photographs, and interactive digital materials that brings Garabagh's revival story to life in all its colors before the reader."
It was emphasized that the book is part of a special digital ecosystem created within the project.
Thus, through hundreds of QR codes placed throughout the book, readers can access materials on the website www.book.revival.az and other online resources, view extended photo galleries, full video and text versions of exclusive interviews, historical literature, and other materials.
At the same time, by visiting the online store available at https://book.revival.az/estore/ and making a donation to the Fund, it is possible to obtain the book in any desired quantity and in various editions (including Classic, Prestige, and Signature Collection).
