Academic grandson of Fayzulla Khojaev passes away

On November 20, 2024, Professor Sulaymon Inoyatov, a distinguished historian and academician of the Turan Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, passed away at the age of 86. This was confirmed by the press service of the Bukhara regional government.  

Sulaymon Inoyatov was the grandson of Otaulla Khojaev and a great-nephew of Fayzulla Khojaev, the former chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Uzbek SSR. Born on March 12, 1938, in Bukhara, he came from the renowned Khojaev family.  

Inoyatov's academic journey began at the Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute, where he graduated in 1961 with a degree in history and philology. He later pursued postgraduate studies at Samarkand State University and earned a Candidate of Historical Sciences degree in 1969 after defending his thesis at Tashkent State University.  

Throughout his career, he held prominent roles, including:  
- 1984–1989: Head of Department at Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute.  
- 1989–1992: Vice-Rector for Scientific Affairs.  
- 1992–1995: Dean of the Faculty of History.  

Professor Inoyatov authored nearly 50 monographs, pamphlets, and textbooks, along with over 500 scientific articles. His extensive contributions to historical research earned him the Order of "Respect of the Country" in 2023, awarded by the President of Uzbekistan.  

This marks a significant loss to Uzbekistan's academic and historical community, following the recent passing of Academician Temurjon Nosirov, a pioneer in power systems analysis, at the age of 83.
