Khirdalan
Khirdalan is a city, municipality, and the capital of the Absheron District of Azerbaijan. The city is home to the country's biggest brewery, Baltika-Baku, formerly known as Khyrdalan. Khirdalan gained city status on 29 November 2006 after its approval by the National Assembly of Azerbaijan. A monument to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was erected in 2007 in the city. Similarly, a statue of Heydar Aliyev was erected in Cairo in 2008. In the wake of the 2011 Egyptian protests, the Azerbaijani opposition, led by the Musavat Party, demanded the demolition of the statue, calling it a "worship of idols". On 8 June 2011, the statue was taken down following Mubarak's resignation.
