In 1970-80s, Heydar Aliyev was one of the most famous leaders of the USSR…

I am certain that should in late 1980s and early 1990s, Heydar Aliyev continue be at the leadership in Azerbaijan, he would prevent both the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and Sumgait events. In January 1990, General Varennikov’s tanks would not attack Baku… And perhaps, Karabakh would not lost…

…I am sure that in June 1993, should not the people call Heydar Aliyev to power, the country would undergo greater human and territorial loss…

Heydar Aliyev stopped the war. In the past ten years, he did a lot to normalize the relations with the neighboring countries, the East and West…

There was a confidence in peaceful returning of the lost. He proved that in the present and future world the political ability might be more efficient than the military ability.

Heydar Aliyevich, I always with the big respect concerned, concern and I shall concern to you. As I know your value, as persons, as the statesman, for all former Soviet Union, for Azerbaijan, for all the Turkic peoples on this ground. I think that if then, in 1990, you were here, the “Black January” would not happen.

All these are of political non-professionalism when professionals have departed, and vacuum was filled with unqualified people, nonprofessionals. Political ignorance results in tragedies of millions people. Therefore, it is very important, that professionals of your class, your training were at the head of people during this very difficult period of becoming independence.

As such, chance is given to peoples, probably, time at Millennium, and it cannot be missed. It is necessary to use it so that people in this period got stronger, and its following generations were independent, rather free and proud people. Heydar Aliyevich, in it the merit of such heads, as you” consists.
