Azerbaijan wins medals at the International Olympiads
Azerbaijani national team supported by Azercell once again achieved success in the IT sector
In September 2024, the Azerbaijani team delivered outstanding results at two prestigious international Olympiads in Informatics. The 36th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) took place in Alexandria, Egypt, from September 1-8, 2024, while the 1st International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad (IAIO) was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between September 8 and 12, 2024.
At the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) Aykhan Damirli, a 10th-grade student from the Lyceum named after Academician Zarifa Aliyeva (Baku), won a bronze medal, while Fuad Garayev, an 11th-grade student from the Lyceum specializing in Physics, Mathematics, and Informatics (Baku), received an encouragement prize. The competition attracted over 350 contestants from nearly 90 countries. Over two intense days, students tackled three challenging algorithmic problems during a 5-hour window each day, showcasing their technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities.
At the 1st International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad (IAIO), which saw the participation of 25 countries, Aykhan Damirli and Fuad Garayev won silver medals. During the scientific challenges, the students solved tasks with artificial intelligence using a specially designed platform for conducting experimental tests.
Since 2017, "Azercell Telecom" LLC has been supporting schoolchildren in their preparation for the International Olympiad in Informatics in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Education and the Institute of Education. During this time, schoolchildren from both Baku and regions of the country have regularly represented Azerbaijan at international competitions, securing a total of 80 medals at various programming contests across different age categories. It is worth noting that the Azerbaijani team secured a total of 13 medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics, one of the most prestigious programming competitions for schoolchildren, (https://stats.ioinformatics.org/results/AZE), eight of which were earned in the last five years.

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
