On September 8, 2021, Aziz Sanjar, a prominent Turkish scientist in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology, turned 75 years old. Aziz Sanjar, the pride of the entire Turkic world, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Paul Modric of the United States and Thomas Lindal of Sweden.
During his visit to Azerbaijan in 2017, Aziz Sanjar said: "I want to see the unity of the Turkic world. This has been my dream since childhood." Aziz Sanjar closely followed the 44-day Patriotic War of Azerbaijan and repeatedly made statements in support of Azerbaijan. He transferred a large sum of money to a bank account for the future education of baby Khadija, who lost both parents as a result of the Armenian rocket attack on Ganja.
On September 10, 2021, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed an Order for awarding Aziz Sanjar with the "Honorary Diploma of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan" for his services to the development of international humanitarian relations of our country.
