The gathering brought together the writer’s friends, relatives, and admirers of his work. Speakers shared personal memories and highlighted that Ibrahimbeyov’s literary creations are deeply rooted in his native land, Baku, and touch the most delicate chords of human emotion.

She added that Ibrahimbeyov was “an extraordinary person – sometimes stern, sometimes warm, always speaking the truth to power, often foreseeing events before they happened.” Writer Leyla Beyim Jafarova spoke about her favorite work of the author, the novel “Cannot Be Appealed”, and read an excerpt from it. Other attendees, including Jamilya Huseynova, a student at Oxbridge Academy; art historian Rustam Huseynov; and Alexander Gadzhievsky, graduate of the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), also shared their reflections on the writer’s literary legacy. Participants of the evening viewed photographs from Ibrahimbeyov’s personal archives, representing different stages of his life, and listened to excerpts from his works.In conclusion, Maksud Ibrahimbeyov’s spouse, Anna Ibrahimbeyova, expressed her gratitude to the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, led by Mehriban Aliyeva, for establishing the Baku Book Center, and thanked the Center for organizing a commemorative evening in honor of her late husband.
