detail about the goals and principles of volunteerism, the work being done in
the country to engage young people in volunteer activities and the measures
taken to promote volunteering. It was noted that such activities are important
for attracting young people to volunteer activities, stimulating the personal
development of young people, enhancing their sense of social responsibility,
and effectively utilizing the potential of youth for sustainable development of
our country.

the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, was opened on September 18, 2013. The complex
contains images of various areas of Guba in the early twentieth century,
photographs of construction and construction work done here. It is possible to
