Martyrs' Lane, Alley of Martyrs or Şəhidlər Xiyabanı (transliterated to Shehidler Khiyabani), formerly The Kirov Park, is a cemetery and memorial in Baku, Azerbaijan dedicated to those killed by the Soviet Army during Black January and later to those killed in Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The Eternal Flame memorial at Martyrs' lane often covered by wreaths is usually attended by many presidents and dignitaries of Baku.
Martyrs' Lane is also home to Baku Turkish Martyrs' Memorial, the large memorial to the 1,130 Turkish troops, which were killed while fighting Bolshevik and Armenian forces in the Battle of Baku in 1918. Next to the memorial there is a Martyrs mosque also built by Turks. The memorial contains a hexagonal block cladded by red granite and at each face, a pure white marble crescent-star from Turkish national flag had fitted within and unveiled by the former Turkish president Süleyman Demirel and Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev with a prestigious ceremony in September, 1999.
Not far from the Turkish memorial there is a small wall acknowledging the British soldiers killed in the same conflict.
The idea of establishing the Eternal Flame memorial complex initially was put proposed in 1994. While considering the importance of this tragedy in the Parliament of Azerbaijan, with the initiative of the Azerbaijani National Heydar Aliyev, it was decided to erect a monument in memory of the martyrs.
Heydar Aliyev personally had kept this issue in the spotlight, giving the relative Commission instructions and recommendations. After one year, during the exhibition on the 5th anniversary of the tragedy, two projects are submitted to the President. Heydar Aliyev had a look at the model prepared by sculptor Omar Eldarov at his workshop as well. Since the projects illustrated only the tragedy, President Heydar Aliyev instructed to design several more projects.
Later, the projects are developed and the project developed by the design company run by honored architect Elbay Gasimzade won the competition. On August 5, 1998, National Leader President Heydar Aliyev issued an Order about ereting Eternal Flame monument in the Alley of Martyrs in Baku. The order entails provision of construction of Eternal Flame memorial complex by Baku City Executive Power and an offer to be made by the Cabinet of Ministers for allocating funds in amount of 2 billion AZN.
The Eternal Flame monument was inaugurated on October 9, 1998. The memorial complex which is at the Alley of Martyrs is composed of a tomb standing on an 8-pointed star crown of gold-framed glass dome. Elegant network decorating the walls of the tomb gives certain gentleness and air of transparency to the monument. Golden dome shining in nocturnal sky embodies the spirit of martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the independence of Azerbaijan.
In 2007, with President Ilham Aliyev’s Decree, within the framework of the reconstruction of Martyrs Alley, the columns of Eternal Flame were heightened and the pores of octangular star and eight-pointed mirror were made of gold.Wikipedia

Some Places on Earth have Been on Fire for 6000 Years!
Eternal flames are often intentionally ignited for symbolic significance. But there are also plenty of natural blazes burning around the world, some of which have been flaming for 6000 years! Here’s a hot list of 11 eternal flames that just won’t quit!
1. Chestnut Ridge Park, New York
It’s a bit of a mystery how this eternal flame keeps alight behind a pretty waterfall in Shale Creek Preserve. Native Americans set it aflame thousands of moons ago, but how it sustains is anyone's guess.
2. Smoking Mountain, Ethiopia
One of the driest and hottest places on the planet! A rare geothermal balance keeps the magma molten, resulting in a pool of glowing liquid fire!
3. Eternal Fire of Baba Gurgur, Iraq
This extensive oil field has been blazing for over 4000 years! Some scholars believe this was the “fiery furnace” referenced in the Bible.
4. The Gates of Hell, Turkmenistan
This destructive inferno has been raging for 40 years now. The 200 feet hole was created in a Soviet industrial accident that exposed an underground cavern of methane gas.
5. Smoking Hills, Canada
This land of fire and ice is where enormous deposits of lignite spontaneously combust. It was discovered in 1828 by Sir John Franklin.
6. Olympos Mountain, Turkey
Said to be the inspiration for the Chimaera monster, it has been used as the mountain’s natural lighthouse for over 2000 years to help sailors navigate the rocky shores. Methane gas seeping up through the rocks is what fuels these fires...
7. Water and Fire Cave, Taiwan
You’d think the surrounding H2O would extinguish this inferno but methane gas bubbles through cracks in the rock and even the running spring can’t quell these eternal flames. It’s been burning for at least 300 years.
8. Fire Temple of Baku, Azerbaijan
This has been ablaze for centuries, often mentioned in ancient texts. Even Marco Polo made reference to this fiery phenomenon when he passed through the region in the 13th century.
9. Centralia Coal Mine, Pennsylvania
This now abandoned gas reservoir sparked in 1962 and despite attempts to put out the fire, it continues to smoulder and cause faults in the ground to this day. The town was condemned in 1992.
10. Burning Mountain, Germany
This seam of coal in Saarland, Germany ignited in 1688. No one really knows how it started. Steam can be seen and heat can be felt emanating from the rocks.
11. Mount Wingen, Australia
This continuously blazing underground coal field makes the landscape glow like a burning mountain. It may be the world’s oldest perpetual coal fire, with some estimates claiming it’s been aflame for over 6000 years!

Shehidler Khiyabani (Şəhidlər Xiyabanı) - Wieczny Płomień Pamięci Męczenników to cmentarz i pomnik poświęcony pomordowanym przez radziecki specnaz w dniu 19-20 stycznia, tzw.

Martyrs' Lane, Alley of Martyrs or Şəhidlər Xiyabanı, formerly The Kirov Park, is a cemetery and memorial in Baku, Azerbaijan dedicated to those killed by the Soviet Army during Black January and later to those killed in Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The site first served as former Muslim cemetery, where they buried the bodies of victims of the March Events of 1918 which was a part of the localized fighting of the Russian Civil War.
The memorial was again used for men who died in the Nagorno-Karabakh War, an armed conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the small enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in southwestern Azerbaijan, between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by the Republic of Armenia, and the Republic of Azerbaijan.
