Shahid Xebat never hesitated in fulfilling his duties and responsibilities and was ready to make sacrifices when asked. He did what was necessary with all his strength. That’s why this power that was created today, its representation was found in the person of Comrade Hebat. Because he built that power in the most difficult conditions and took the first step. In the beginning, martyred Work started with a few girls and boys, today it has become hundreds of thousands and with the same thoughts and beliefs they will fight, protect and fight against the enemy invaders and self-dealers. On this basis, if we want to express the martyr Xebat and represent him correctly, we need to immerse ourselves even more in the style of his struggle and life and be persistent in fulfilling the wishes and wishes of the martyr Xebat.
