Huseynov Elshad earned the respect of his fellow soldiers and officers in a very short time by fulfilling the tasks accurately and in a timely manner. When our Azerbaijan gained its independence, the external and internal enemies of the country made several attempts of coup d’états. The events of March 17^th 1995 were one of the most dangerous conspiracies against our statehood. Our country that had faced a lot of tragedies and losses committed by Armenian aggressors was now living through out another tragedy. The nation was troubled; our national army prevented coup d’état bravely. On that day Elshan also performed his civic duties with honor but a sudden bullet ended his live.

He was single.
