History
Preparations for the construction of B-3 and B-4 stations started back in 2012, when the traffic on Ceyhun Selimov Street and Jalil Mammadguluzade Street for each station, respectively, was blocked.[3] Over the next 4 years, tunnels were laid from Memar Ajami-2 station. After the opening of the first two stations of the purple line, the Baku Metro announced that the third station would open in 2018.[4]
The station was planned to be opened in 2018,[5][6] but the work was not completed and the opening was postponed to 2019.[7] The deputy chairman of CJSC Baku Metro stated that there was a delay due to natural and geological problems. A new station opening date of 2020 was announced, but the works were also not completed on time.[8]
On 8 December, by order of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, the station was named "8 November", in honour of the victory in the Second Karabakh War.[9] The Cabinet of Ministers' decision states: Шаблон:Blockquote
