Martyrs' Lane is a place of remembrance. It commemorates people killed in the events of January nineteen ninety and in the Karabakh conflicts. The cemetery and the Eternal Flame memorial stand near Highland Park, overlooking a prominent part of the city.

The setting offers a wide view, but that is not the main meaning of this place. People come here to remember relatives, friends and events that remain deeply personal. Move quietly, leave room for those paying their respects, and avoid intrusive photographs of graves or mourners. If a ceremony is taking place, follow the guidance given and allow it the space it deserves.
