Azerbaijan national heroes. The National Hero of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan milli qəhrəmanı) is the highest national title in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The title was named on 25 March 1992, and the "Qizil Ulduz" Medal awarded as a sign of receiving this title was established by a separate law on 15 July 1992. The law on the title has been in effect since 25 December 1995. It can only be awarded once to the same person. The title is awarded for outstanding services of national importance to Azerbaijan in defence and strengthening of the state system and creation of important national values.
After the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, Azerbaijan and Armenia were engaged in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in which several Azerbaijanis were awarded with the National Hero of Azerbaijan.
