In this settlement, Azerbaijanis, Lezgins and representatives of other nations along with the Jews have lived for a long time under mutual respect for customs and traditions, culture, language, religion of each other. The Girmizi Gasaba, like other settlements in the Guba region, has also been developed at a high level. After lunch the schoolchildren visited the waterfall on the way to Khinalig village of Guba region, the "Rixos" Hotel Complex in Guba, and a golf course. After dinner, "Who? Where? When?" intellectual competition was held among schoolchildren. In the intellectual competition held among schoolchildren from 9 regions, Gabala schoolchildren, demonstrating a solid grounding, took the 2nd and 4th places and were awarded a certificate and a cup. In turn, the "Ancient Gabala" and "Modern Gabala" teams representing Gabala region presented memorable gifts to the other winning teams. It should be noted that on November 17, on the occasion of the National Revival Day, Gabala schoolchildren held an interesting event at the "Jannat Bagi" Recreation Center.
