Dear Nigar

Saying 'Good bye" is very diffcult as both of us have been with the British Council for ages. It is like saying 'good bye' to a relative :-).   I wish you the best of luck. If you ever want to come and visit Ukraine (after the war is finished), please give me a shout.

Very best,
Anna Bubnova

Dear Nigar,

Leaving the British Council after being part of shouldn't be easy, but every journey has an end and every end is the start a new beginning! :)

So focusing on the positive I wish you so many new adventures and new opportunities in the next chapter of your professional life.

It was a great pleasure to work with you.

Wishing you all the best and hope our paths will cross again.

Hi Nigar,
You were one of the first people I spoke to in the region. I was trapped in Berlin, you were in Dubai. What a weird world! And since then, so many projects and activities. I'm so sorry I never came to Baku, but I will...

Nigar,

you have always been our great inspiration! Your positive attitude towards everything, even the most difficult problems has helped us not to get lost and feel pessimistic.
Your readiness to help and motivate in challenging situations is the proof of your strong leadership skills.
I'll miss you a lot, but hope that we'll keep in touch and see each other even more:)

Good luck in your new journey!

...of all the things we've worked on togeter.
I was trying to remember when we first met - and I managed to! :) It was the RLT meeting in London in 2013! Feels like yesterday and also like a lifetime ago at the same time.
Since then we've shared so much time together working on bids, delivering programmes, talking to MoE :), going through internal processes...
If we had a penny for every meeting and every action point... :)
That's why it feels almost unreal to be writing this!
I wish you all the success and I am absolutely positive that success is what will continue to be on your path. Here's to new beginnings, new opportunities , good memories and keeping in touch! Maja

Dear Nigar, I still cannot believe that you will be leaving us. I have learned a lot from you during your time here. Your support and encouragement during the difficult and the good times were inseparable. We’ll share nothing but all the good memories of you here. I would like to thank you for helping us achieve our milestones and make us a better organization.  I wish you all the success for the future and I know you will rock in your new workplace.   I have no doubts that you will have a successful life ahead.
Best wishes,

Believe it or not I still have the musical oil derrick which the Rector of the Higher Oil School gave me - it’s in front of me on my desk in Edinburgh and reminds me of my visits to Baku from which I invariably returned impressed and inspired. Thank you for being my constant guide, and all the very best for the future, from Michael

Thank you so much for being a great colleague, Nigar - I first learned about you from Margaret Jack one was CD in Azerbaijan before me - she told me how amazing you were and generally sang your praises before then breaking the news that you were leaving. Not a great start for a new CD - losing a star performer before I had even started. But, like many people, you found your way back to the British Council and continued your great work.

Good luck for the future, Nigar - stay in touch!!

Dear Nigar
Such good memories of that one visit I spent time with the team on Elizabeth's departure and Summer's arrival. So much packed into those few days.  I will always be grateful for that time and the numerous fun moments with all the team and the time you personally took to show me Baku.
Wishing you well for the future. Sheila
