THE UNFORGETTABLE LEADER OF THE PEOPLE OF AZERBAIJAN

Abstract

Two factors are essential for achieving freedom and independence: historical conditions and a strong leader. In the second half of the 1980s, the Soviet empire began to collapse. One of the main roads leading to independence – the historical conditions – had already matured. There was a need for a strong leader for the people, who could assess events correctly and make logical decisions, and this phenomenal figure was Heydar Alirza oglu Aliyev, the architect and founder of the modern Independent
Republic of Azerbaijan. Long in advance, Heydar Aliyev anticipated the collapse of the Soviet empire and put the path to the restoration of the state independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Today, the independence of Azerbaijan is in very strong hands. Under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Hero of the 44-day Patriotic War, Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev, our republic is strengthening its state independence each day. As the National Leader said: "State independence of Azerbaijan is permanent, eternal, and irreversible".
