About us
İkinci Dünya Müharibəsinin faşizm üzərində Qələbə ilə başa çatmasından sonra keçmiş SSRİ-nin bütün respublikalarında olduğu kimi Azərbaycan Respublikasında da veteran hərəkatı başlanmışdır. Bu hərəkatın ilk nəticəsi kimi 1960-cı il iyun ayının 10-da Bakı Veteran Komitəsi yaradılmışdır. Ancaq Azərbaycanın ilk veteran təşkilatının fəaliyyəti yalnız Bakı şəhəri ilə məhdudlaşmış və bu vəziyyət 1970-ci illərin əvvəllərinədək davam etmişdir.
