A book about Kazakh Yerbol, an Azerbaijani hero, has been published

On October 16, an event was held in Almaty to present the book "Erbol: The Karabakh Martyr," authored by Nassiha Khumargyzy. Just two days earlier, a similar book presentation had taken place in Baku at the Scientific State Library of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.

The book chronicles the life and extraordinary valor of Yerbol Barymbekov, a humble warrior hailing from Kazakhstan. Yerbol courageously undertook numerous perilous reconnaissance missions deep within enemy territory, enduring wounds and hospitalization, yet resolutely returning to the battlefield. His unwavering dedication ultimately led to his heroic demise in combat on April 20, 1994, while carrying out a mission behind enemy lines. Yerbol Barymbekov's indomitable spirit played a pivotal role in the defense of the Terter district against the Armenian army's advances.

An article titled Unknown Azerbaijani hero of the Kazakh nation, published on Turan.az, sheds light on Yerbol Barymbekov's heroism and his enduring legacy in Azerbaijan.

Born on January 1, 1974, in the village of Koragaty, Lugovsky district of Kazakhstan, Yerbol Barymbekov dedicated the last years of his life to defending Azerbaijan from Armenian aggression. Tragically, he lost his life in battle just two weeks before the war's conclusion, on April 20, 1994, while carrying out a combat mission in the Agdere-Terter region. The author and journalists were able to gather insights into Erbol's service in the Azerbaijani army from his comrades, who were veterans of the 706th brigade.

Writer Nassiha Khumargyzy shared her experience visiting Yerbol's resting place at the 2nd Alley of Martyrs in Baku, where Yerbol's brother Nurbol and his son Yerbolat paid their respects. Yerbol's name lived on in his family, as his late mother had named her first grandson Yerbolat to ensure his memory endured. The alley was adorned with flowers and flags, the brisk wind adding a touch of solemnity to the occasion. Khumargyzy remarked that their visit, she believed, had brought warmth to Yerbol's soul.
