School literature for children should be extremely cautious in
presenting national heroes and historical figures, as the child grows
up, copies these heroes and imitates them, writes Jalil Dzhavanshir
on the site of Azinform.az.

According to him, reading the illustrated novel of the joint
Turkish-Azerbaijani production titled “Ibad” and written by Turkish
author Suat Turgut about Ibad Huseynov, who is considered a national
hero in Azerbaijan, the author has experienced frustration from the
fact that the recent history is impermissibly distorted.

Turgut presents Ibad Huseynov as a national hero of the Turkic world,
because the latter during their first meeting had presented him a book
about himself, where he says that he had killed Monte Melkonian. The
famous photo of Ibad Huseynov posing on the background of the cut
off head was spread through the internet.

However, as Jalili Javanshir writes, there are dozens of Azerbaijani
Karabakh war veterans, who deny that Monte Melkonian was killed by
Ibad Huseynov. This issue was widely covered in the press.

“On the other hand, there are dozens of fighters, national heroes who
have more reason to promote themselves,” the author writes, and notes
that the history does not tolerate lies and errors and the accounts the
eyewitnesses about the recent historical events should be respected.
