 Despite the fact that only a few months have passed since the start of the activity, the Higher Military School's pedagogical staff has provided a number of training materials, propaganda and educational books, and presented them to the cadets.
 An officer is a guardian of the high level of military service. In order to achieve this, the scientific-theoretical, tactical-technical, physical training of future commanders is not enough, but their moral-psychological condition must also be in line with the requirements of modern times. It is necessary to use the opportunities of modern ICTs, press, television, cinema and theater to bring officers as citizens of high moral quality who love their land, state and the people. To succeed in this, the Higher Military School administration has begun the implementation of this important work by planning the cadets' meeting with academics, writers, art figures, and war and armed forced veterans under the instruction of the Commander of the Internal Troops.

Colonel Sahib Babayev, who opened the meeting, spoke about the importance of intellectuals, scholars, poets and writers' meetings with young people, especially those who chose the military field, stressing that such events play an important role in raising the personnel morale and psychological state. He noted  that meetings with Elkhan Khazar, one of the well-known creative people, have a bigger value, as Elkhan is not only a good speaker but also veteran of the Internal Troops. For some time, he served in the military structure. He attended in the battles in Aghdara region from August 1992 to March 1993 and was injured twice. Elkhan Khazar, deputy commander of the military service in the military unit headed by Anvar Arazov, who later became the National Hero of Azerbaijan, was at the forefront of successful operations and participated in the liberation of more than 10 settlements. He has inspired soldiers to battle with poems he wrote while in the front. The poetic samples in the book published in 1993 under the name of “Songs in trench” are the product of that period.
 Now, poet’s more than 20 books have been published, and many of them are in the use of soldiers and officers as the most valuable educating means in the libraries of the military units. Colonel S.Babayev said that he waits patiently for each meeting and makes some preparations. At this meeting, some of the cadets presented examples of Elkhan Khazar's poems to the event participants.
Then he gave a floor to the war veteran, military journalist Yalchin Abbasov to talk on Elkhan's life and creativity. Y.Abbasov gave a detailed report on the life and career of the military-poet, battle life, his creative way of life, and his decent place in the republican veteran movement.
