Baku's TV tower looms over Martyr's Alley (Shahidlar Xiyabani) and the monument of the eternal flame. Martyr's Alley was originally a cemetery to honor those (about 130) who died on 20 January 1990 at the hands of the Soviet Red Army. The cemetery now includes those who died in the Nagorno Karabagh conflict. ..It's a peaceful cemetery whose headstones are adorned with etched faces of the deceased.
