The Karabakh war left a big mark in the recent history of Azerbaijan - it claimed thousands of lives and put as many people on the run. People still cannot recover from the pain associated with the loss of loved ones and native lands. One of these families is the Mustafaevs, the birthplace of Chingiz Mustafaev, a TV journalist who covered the course of the war until the last minute of his life.
Biography
On August 29, 1960, a son was born in the family of Fuad and Nakhyshgyz Mustafayev - Chingiz Mustafayev. The biography of his life is short, but bright. At this time, the family lived in the Astrakhan region and in 1964 moved to Baku. Before starting his career, the TV journalist studied at the military school named after Jumshud Nakhchivansky, and after that he completed his studies at school No. 167 of the Yasamal region. He received his higher education at the Azerbaijan Medical University. He worked by profession as a doctor in the Devechi district, and later as the head physician of a sanatorium at the Institute of Construction Engineers.
Besides work, Chingiz Mustafayev was interested inart - created the music center "Disco", was a member of the folklore group "Ozan" and the youth studio "Impromptu".
But reporter activity turned out to be more important for him than the profession of a doctor and hobbies - the future reporter made several important stories on Bloody January in 1990. In 1991, he opened the 215 KL studio, whose important mission was to convey the latest front-line news. The TV journalist quickly fell in love with the Azerbaijani public thanks to the programs “215 KL Presents”, “Face to Face”, “No One Will Be Forgotten”. The reporter's talent also allowed him to meet with famous people in the Soviet Union: M. Gorbachev, A. Mutalibov, B. Yeltsin, N. Nazarbaev. This is not a complete list of people with whom Chingiz Mustafayev spoke.
The beginning of the Karabakh war was the starting point in the career of Chingiz Mustafayev as a TV journalist - he traveled to the war zone, talked with soldiers and interviewed, filmed a shootout between the warring parties. The archives contain videos of him encouraging Azerbaijani soldiers and urging them to return to Armenian-occupied Shusha.
On the night of February 25-26, 1992, the most bloody and brutal event of the Karabakh war took place - the Khojaly genocide. On February 28, Chingiz Mustafayev and a group of journalists on two helicopters were able to fly to the place of the tragic events, but due to the shelling of the helicopter by the Armenian side, except for 4 bodies, they could not take anyone out. On March 2, a group of foreign journalists flew to the scene of the tragedy. Genghis was with them. Mustafayev, who also filmed the consequences of the tragedy - the bodies of women, children, old people, shot at close range and with their eyes gouged out. Probably, the filming of the Khojaly massacre - the massacre of Azerbaijanis by the Armenian armed forces, is the most important contribution of Chingiz Mustafayev to the chronology of the history of his native country. According to the investigation of the Parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on the night of February 25-26, 613 people died. The fate of 150 people is still unknown.
Tragic death
On June 15, 1992, fierce battles were going on in the village of Nakhichevanik. Chingiz Mustafayev was filming the offensive of the Azerbaijani troops when he was mortally wounded by a mine fragment. The unpowered camera kept filming…
The well-known TV journalist was posthumously given the title of National Hero of Azerbaijan and buried on the Walk of Fame in Baku.
Was Chingiz's fate predetermined?
Perhaps the fate of the military TV journalist was already predetermined. Why? He was born in a military family, his maternal grandfather returned from the war disabled, and his uncle, unfortunately, did not return. It is worth mentioning separately about the uncle from the paternal side - Chingiz Mustafayev, after whom the journalist was named. During the repressions of the 30s of the last century, he was among 17 detainees. 16 of them pleaded guilty, but Chingiz Mustafayev (senior) did not. Tortured, he returned to Goychay and soon died. He was only 20 years old.
Living memory
They say that the memory of a person is alive as long asthere are people who remember him. Of course, his family knew best of all the deceased. Mother - Nakhyshgyz Mustafayeva still cannot believe in the loss of her son and is still waiting for him to knock on the door. Of course, these are thoughts that are no longer destined to come true … She notes that her sons and grandchildren support her as much as they can. Vahid and Seyfulla Mustafayev are co-founders of one of the large ANS group of companies, which bears the name of Chingiz Mustafayev. The AND group of companies includes ANS radio, a film studio, a press center, a publishing house, and an advertising company. ANS successfully cooperates with well-known media and film companies in Europe.
The son of Chingiz Mustafayev - Fuad, studies in Germany at the Faculty of Economics. When a young man arrives in Baku, he, like his father, along with military journalists, films the events of the current, not yet subsided conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Fuad knows his father only from the words of his relatives - he was only 9 months old when Chingiz Mustafayev died. The photo below shows how similar father and son are.
Memory of Chingiz Mustafayev
November 6, 1989 Chingiz Mustafayev received posthumously the title of National Hero of Azerbaijan.
Chingiz Mustafayev named a recreation area of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Shuvelyan (a village in the suburbs of Baku), a street in Baku and the radio station ANS CM.
A bust of him is installed in the Lyceum named after Jumshud Nakhchivansky, and on the wall of the house there is a bas-relief depicting him with a video camera on his shoulders.
In the film fund of Azerbaijan there are two films in which Chingiz Mustafayev played episodic roles - "Another Life" and"Scoundrel".
