On May 10, 2017, an event dedicated to the 94th anniversary of the birth of the national leader Heydar Aliyev took place in the Conference Hall of the Presidential Library. Participants of the event paid tribute to the memory of the Great Leader by laying a wreath at the bust installed in the library, and also visited a book exhibition organized in the Reading Room.
During the event, the director of the library, Mail Ahmadov, emphasized that among the great personalities that Azerbaijan has gifted to the world, Heydar Aliyev stands out with his invaluable merits. His name is forever inscribed in the history of Azerbaijan’s statehood in golden letters. The invaluable legacy of Heydar Aliyev is a mirror of our recent history, which serves as not only a historical chronicle but also a beacon illuminating our present and future.
Participants of the event highlighted that due to Heydar Aliyev’s rich managerial experience, an end was put to the chaos, anarchy, and lawlessness inherited from previous authorities.
It was emphasized that the course of internal and external policies established by Heydar Aliyev is successfully continued by President Ilham Aliyev today. The economic potential of Azerbaijan and the established stability allow our country to host a number of international events and sports competitions.
During the event, a decision was made to further enrich the electronic project “Heydar Aliyev. Collection of electronic documents” with new materials. This collection, compiled by the staff of the Presidential Library, reflects all aspects of the life and work of the Great Leader, his rich legacy, books and articles about him, and is currently very popular among users.
To conclude the event, a documentary film about Heydar Aliyev’s life was shown.
