My Dearest Khazar!

I, Sadiq Dadashov Sadiyar oglu, pursued my undergraduate study in "General Medicine" at Khazar University from 2005 to 2011. Over the years, I have continued my education in Germany and Türkiye. Throughout my career, I have served as a physician-therapist at Lankaran District Central Hospital and "Lankaran Hotel and Resort Company" LLC, as well as a lecturer at Lankaran State University and Lankaran Medical College. Currently, I hold the position of Head of the Lankaran Branch of the State Agency for Mandatory Health Insurance.

I feel truly fortunate to have chosen Khazar University in 2005. The distinguished faculty, English-medium instruction, and high academic standards have significantly contributed to my professional and personal development, both in academia and beyond. The knowledge and skills I acquired during my university years played a crucial role in shaping my career. I fondly recall a saying among students: "A student is happy when they first enter Khazar University and once again when they graduate." This was, of course, a reflection of the university's rigorous academic environment and commitment to transparency. However, the challenges we faced were ultimately rewarding, as many of us have gone on to establish successful careers in our respective fields.

The continuous growth and development of the university stand as a testament to its strong leadership and highly professional team. I extend my heartfelt wishes for continued success to my beloved Khazar University, led by the esteemed scholar and public figure, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, poet, writer, and publicist, Professor Hamlet Isakhanli, along with the entire university staff.

My Dearest Khazar!

You have given me such deep and beautiful memories that words cannot fully express them.

The knowledge I gained from highly professional educators during my four years of study has always guided me in a positive direction. The courses focused on personal development have profoundly shaped my outlook on life. I truly believe that Khazar University was not just an institution of higher education for us—it was a place where we felt at home. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed Rector, Hamlet Isakhanli, for establishing such an exceptional academic institution as Khazar University.

Dear Mr.Isakhanli, having a rector as intellectual, sincere, and kind as you was a privilege. For the past 15 years, I have worked as a senior editor at Public Television, and I always take pride in saying that I graduated from such a prestigious university as Khazar.

I also want to express my deepest appreciation to all my professors—you are all truly invaluable. You have left an unforgettable mark on my life.

To the current students of Khazar University, I wish you all the best in your academic journey!

Their dedication and passion for teaching have left an indelible mark on my personal and professional journey.

I hope that Khazar University will continue to inspire and empower future generations.
