Xırdalan (Khyrdalan) is a city, municipality and the capital of the Absheron District of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 95,200.[1] Khyrdalan is home of country's biggest brewery Baltika Baku, previously known as Khyrdalan .[2] 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.[3] 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".[4] On 8 June 2011, the statue was taken down following Mubarak's resignation.[5]
On 29 November 2006, the settlement gained city status after its approval by the National Assembly of Azerbaijan.[6]
