Ziyafet Asgarov said Baku had played a bigger role in gaining the victory in Great Patriotic War: “During the war, Baku met 90 percent of the USSR’s oil and fuel demands. However, there are some other cities which, compared to Baku, played a smaller role in successfully ending Great Patriotic War. Nonetheless, they were granted the Hero City status. Therefore, I consider it a big injustice that Baku wasn’t granted the Hero City status”.
