Director General of Qatar News Agency (QNA) Ahmed Saad Al Buanain and Chief of Agency`s News Department Abdullah Abdurrahman as part of their visit to Azerbaijan on Wednesday visited Bibiheybat mosque complex in Baku.
The guests were informed that during the Soviet period, religious repressions also affected the Bibiheybat sanctuary. In 1934 the mosque was heavily damaged.
In March, 1994, National Leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev visited the mosque, and later in 1997 he laid the foundation of the new Bibiheybat mosque complex. One year after, on July 12, 2008, Heydar Aliyev inaugurated the mosque complex after major reconstruction.
