With great respect to the Great Leader…

When we say “Azerbaijan”, we think of you! This idea in the famous song dedicated to the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev expresses the sublime love and deep and inexhaustible respect of our people for their genius son.

I feel very happy as a representative of the generation that lived at the same time as the Great Leader and witnessed his great statecraft. Modern independent Azerbaijan, which he built and created a solid foundation for its future, is known in the world today for its strength and power. We are the children of the victorious people, citizens of the victorious state.

Today, on the 100th anniversary of his birth, we commemorate the dear memory of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev with great respect and wish him mercy and say: “You are our greatest wealth in this world!” The state built by you will always take decisions at the top under the leadership of your worthy political heir, the honorable President, and the Victorious Commander-in-Chief Mr. Ilham Aliyev! It is our sacred duty to fulfill all your wishes and wishes. May your soul be happy, Great Leader!”
