History

The monument was raised in 1993 at the intersection of Yusif Safarov and Mehdi Mehdizade streets in the front of the Khatai metro station in Baku. The sculptors of the monument are Ibrahim Zeynalov, the Honored Art Worker of the Azerbaijan SSR, People's Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR, and Zakir Mehdiyev, sculptor, artist and teacher, and the architects are P.Huseynov, and G. Aliyev.[1] The monument is made of bronze and granite.

In 2007, the pedestal of the monument was reconstructed, the monument was faced with slabs of pink granite, and the sculpture itself was restored.[2] Also, work was carried out on the landscaping of the park around the monument.[3]

In 2017, during the expansion of the carriageway of Yusif Safarov Street, the alley was liquidated, but the Khatai monument was preserved.[4] In 2020, the monument was moved to a new park.[5]
