Stockholm: The documentary film 'The Homeland in Memory,' directed by Swedish photographer Mikael Silkeberg, was showcased at the Filmstaden Sergel cinema in Stockholm to commemorate the 103rd anniversary of National Leader Heydar Aliyev.

Attendees also included members of the Azerbaijani and Turkish communities, as well as Swedish citizens interested in Azerbaijani history and culture.

Azerbaijani Ambassador to Sweden Zaur Ahmadov emphasized the enduring respect and reverence for Heydar Aliyev's memory, both in Azerbaijan and internationally. He quoted President Ilham Aliyev, stating that Heydar Aliyev would be at peace knowing that today's Azerbaijan is a testament to his legacy. The ambassador highlighted the liberation of Azerbaijani lands under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the raising of the national flag in Khankendi as sources of national pride.
