Murtuza Mukhtarov, a prominent representative of the oil industry, a major oil entrepreneur and philanthropist, was born in 1865 in the village of Amirjany, in the suburbs of Baku, in the family of a coachman. For a long time he worked as a plasterer, carried oil on carts, and was engaged in small contracts. Since 1870, he worked at one of the mines in the villages of Balakhany-Zabrat. Noticing a capable, hardworking young man, the owner of the oil field, Martov, taught him the secret of mechanical tools and oil-producing machines. Soon Mukhtarov becomes a master. Subsequently, Martov sells his private workshop to Murtuza.

What a wonderful library and staff. The amount of work that has been done in such a short time is very impressive. I hope to return again soon, and I look forward to working with the library.
You have created the library, which has no analogue in the Republic. Well done! As a specialist, I’m proud of your work.
With thanks for your warm hospitality. Best wishes for your library and library environment in Azerbaijan.
