According to the Decree of President Ilham Aliyev, declaring 2023 "Year of Heydar Aliyev" in our country is an expression of national respect for the Great Leader. As mentioned in the order, the legacy of the Great Leader of independent Azerbaijan to the present and future generations, and his rich and diverse heritage is the national wealth of our people. Preserving this sacred heritage is the honorable duty of every Azerbaijani. The declaration of 2023 as the "Year of Heydar Aliyev" is a major socio-political event in the life of our republic, because the name of independent Azerbaijan is mentioned alongside the name of Heydar Aliyev. In accordance with that Decree, the Sumgayit State University has prepared an Action Plan related to the life of Great Leader, his  political activity, sacrifices and historical services to the people of Azerbaijan. For this a  series of events are being organized.

As a continuation of the planned events, on March 4, the collective of SSU participated in a tree-planting action in  Sumgayit City Boulevard under the motto "Plant 100 trees" dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of National Leader Heydar Aliyev.

The slogan "Plant 100 trees" was realized in the tree-planting measure initiated by SSU, with the participation of professor-teachers and students.

The purpose of holding such actions is also to plant greenery, provide care for them and direct the public"s attention to environmental protection.
