Farman Kurban Oglu (Kurbanovich) Salmanov was born on July 28, 1931 in the village of Leninsk Azerbaijan SSR. Now this village of Shamkirsky district Azerbaijan is named Morul. Azerbaijanis by nationality, Farman had both Siberian roots, and all thanks to the conflict of ancestors with the authorities. Grandfather of the Future Oilman, Suleiman, at one time was exiled to Siberia for 20 years. The reason was the reluctance to pay the mosques put the tax by law, besides, he was on the Imam who came to recall the debt, dogs.
