Baku mourns the loss of 13-year-old Muhamadali Yeganov, a promising young footballer from the Ganjlik club, who tragically lost his life in the recent plane crash in Kazakhstan. The ceremony, attended by members of the public and the teenager's loved ones, was a somber affair as the community gathered to pay their final respects.
