BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 9. The presentation

reports.
Commissioned by the Karabakh Revival Fund, the event brought
together government officials, MPs, families of martyrs who
sacrificed their lives for the homeland, participants of the
Karabakh war, donors and partners of the Fund, and media
representatives. The ceremony began with the national anthem of
Azerbaijan, followed by a moment of silence in honor of martyrs who
defended the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Rahman Hajiyev, Chairperson of the Board of the Karabakh Revival
Fund, gave the opening speech, detailing the significance and
preparation process of the book. The book extensively documents
Karabakh’s history, the occupation period, liberation,
reconstruction, and future perspectives. It includes texts,
photographs, and interviews with officials, state representatives,
and experts, as well as recollections from people displaced from
their homeland.
"Spanning nearly 500 pages, 'Revival of Karabakh: The Story of
Azerbaijan’s Renaissance’ is not just a book. Enriched with text,
photographs, and interactive digital content, it brings the story
of Karabakh’s revival to life in all its colors," Hajiyev
noted.
The book is part of a specially created digital ecosystem.
Through hundreds of embedded QR codes, readers can access
supplementary materials on the project’s website, www.book.revival.az,
including expanded photo galleries, full video and text versions of
exclusive interviews, historical literature, and other resources.
The book is also available for purchase through the online store,
allowing readers to obtain it in various editions, including
Classic, Prestige, and Signature Collection, while supporting the
Fund through donations.
An AI
guide named “Zafar (Victory) AI,” designed in the form of a
phoenix, provides readers with detailed information about the
history, occupation, and current revival of Karabakh and East
Zangezur, transforming the publication into a dynamic, interactive,
and modern reading experience.
Hajiyev emphasized that the book aims to communicate the truths
about Karabakh and highlight the large-scale reconstruction and
development efforts in liberated territories under the leadership
of the Victorious Supreme Commander, President of Azerbaijan Ilham
Aliyev, as well as Azerbaijan’s contributions to ensuring
sustainable regional peace.
