Nazim Mammadov, a leading research associate in the Department of Karabakh History at the A.A. Bakikhanov Institute of History and Ethnology of ANAS and a doctor of historical sciences, has donated his book titled "Heydar Aliyev and the Development Strategy of Karabakh (Late 1960s - Early 1980s)", published in English, to the Presidential Library.
The publication provides a comprehensive examination of the history of Karabakh, an integral part of the Republic of Azerbaijan, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The author systematically analyzes the social-political, economic, and cultural processes of this period, offering the reader an overall picture of that phase.
The book particularly highlights the period that began in 1969 with the arrival of National Leader Heydar Aliyev to the leadership of the republic. It illustrates, with factual evidence, the effects of the reforms in the governance system, the increase in Azerbaijan's international standing, and the national revival on the development of Karabakh.
The publication also highlights Armenia's unfounded territorial claims against Azerbaijan in the 1970s and the resolute position taken by National Leader Heydar Aliyev regarding this matter. The author also emphasizes aspects related to the strengthening of national awakening and the preservation of stability in the region during that period.
The author's research serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and a wider reading audience, contributing to a deeper understanding of the history of Karabakh and a comprehensive grasp of the development strategy implemented during the leadership of National Leader Heydar Aliyev.
