National Defense University (Azerbaijani: Milli Müdafiə Universiteti) is a military university established in 2022 and primarily located in Baku, Azerbaijan. The university is based on the Turkish National Defense University as part of an effort to make the Azerbaijani Armed Forces mirror the Turkish Armed Forces.[2] [3] In June 2022, the professor, Lieutenant General Heydar Piriyev, who previously headed the War College of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, started working as a rector.
