This was followed by a performance of the national anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Speaking at the ceremony, Major General Namig Bayramov conveyed congratulations from the Ministry’s leadership and expressed confidence in the graduates’ future contributions to military service.

Participants who completed the course successfully were presented with official certificates.
