I liked to look down on the flat roofs of the houses, the gardens, the vineyards, the sea with white pebbles on the shore..." This dream of her is determined during her school years.

[12][15] Returning to Baku, Zuleykha finished special courses at the flight club and received the title of pilot instructor.

[17] Based on Zuleikha's request, who was remembered by Bagirov as a "girl thrown into the sea by the wind", the Central Committee officially sends a letter to Moscow for her admission to the academy.
