An event titled “In the Light of Victory,” dedicated to the 5th anniversary of Azerbaijan’s historic Triumph, was held at the DOST Inclusive Development and Creativity Center operating under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.
Organized within the framework of the “Year of the Constitution and Sovereignty,” the event was attended by government officials, members of parliament, families of martyrs, war veterans, and prominent figures of the arts.
Before the official program, participants viewed handicrafts created in various studios of the Center and dedicated to the “Year of the Constitution and Sovereignty.”

The Minister provided information about the large-scale social support measures carried out for the families of martyrs and war participants. He also highlighted the significant role of the DOST Inclusive Development and Creativity Center—established on the initiative of First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva—in advancing an inclusive society, developing the talents and abilities of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, and promoting their integration into society.
