The Alley of Martyrs is an administrative territory in Sabail district of Baku, an alley where our fellow citizens who have died heroically for freedom of the Homeland are buried.
Here have been buried Azerbaijani and Turkish soldiers who have lost their lives in the battles for the liberation of Baku from Bolshevik-Dashnak occupation in 1918, as well as those Azerbaijanis who have died heroically during the January events of 1990, and in the Garabagh War.
Once called Chambarakand, this area is a burial place for the victims of the genocide committed by Armenians in 1918 in Baku. After the establishment of a Soviet power in Azerbaijan, this graveyard was closed down and the "Upland Park" was laid out in its place. After those perished during the Bloody January events of 1990 were buried here, the area was called the Alley of Martyrs.
