The Baku Higher Oil School of SOCAR (BHOS) has held a festive event to celebrate the Day of Solidarity of World Azerbaijanis and the New Year, Azernews reports.

Speaking at the event, BHOS Rector Elmar Gasimov congratulated the employees and students of the university on the upcoming holidays and wished them success in the new year.

“This year, marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of the savior of the Azerbaijani people, National Leader Heydar Aliyev, will go down in history as the year when his worthy successor, Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev raised the Azerbaijani tricolor over the city of Khankendi and thereby restored the territorial integrity of our country. It was this year that we experienced the great joy of victory. Our youth should not forget the history of their country. Therefore, I recommend young people to study the history of Azerbaijan in depth."

Elmar Gasimov emphasized that the outgoing year was successful for Baku Higher Oil School and expressed confidence that the university will continue to achieve new successes next year.

After the speeches, a lottery was drawn among the university employees.

The event continued with an artistic part.
