Dear friends!
I am saddened to inform you that today, September 6th, world-renowned
Azerbaijani scientist, founder of the theory of fuzzy logic, professor of
the University of California Lotfi A., Zadeh passed away at the age of 97.
For the last two months I have spent a lot of time with him. He was feeling
well until September 5 and after that, Zadeh stopped talking and reacting.
Today he left us peacefully and painlessly.
I am confident to say that Professor Lotfi Zadeh was a great man who loved
Azerbaijan. He always cared about the events happening in Azerbaijan. He
was so proud to be born in Azerbaijan and being a Bakuvian.
It was his desire to be buried in Azerbaijan, in his home country. His body
will be disposed to Baku soon and buried in the Alley of Honor.
His dear memories will remain in hearts of all scholars who worked and will
continue to work using his scientific direction, theories and applications
in all over the world.
I promised him that the conferences dedicated to him will continue and as
his close friends we will be working using his directions and theories.
Rest in Peace, dear Lotfi.
