Flag of Azerbaijan over Khan Tengri!

On August 16 two climbers from Azerbaijan, Sirhan Mammadov and Firuz Dadashov made a successful ascent on one of the highest peaks of the former Soviet Union - Khan Tengri (7,010 m).

 
The President of the Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing of Azerbaijan, Israfil  Ashurly told Turan our athletes reached the summit in difficult weather conditions - heavy snow and wind. 
 
Having spent a large force on the climb, the climbers safely arrived at the base today. This was said by Captain Sirkhan Mammadov on the satellite telephone.
 
Now our climbers are waiting for a week vacation. Gathering strength, they will start to climb the highest, most difficult and dangerous peak of the Tien Shan - Pobeda Peak (7,439 m).
 
If successful, Sirkhan Mammadov and Firuz Dadashov will be the holders of honorary title "Snow Leopard", which is awarded to the conquerors of seventhousanders of the former Soviet Union.
 
At present, in Azerbaijan this title only belongs to Israfil Ashurly. -02B-
