“The people of Azerbaijan, who brought the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev to the head of their state with great dreams in the early 90s of the last century, today are celebrating his celebration. It was our Great Leader who determined the solid foundations of the path of progress and irreversible development covering all areas of our country. And today’s Azerbaijan, whose successes are talked about all over the world, is known mainly in Europe as a savior state, is appreciated as a reliable partner by the countries it cooperates with, creates new realities, and rises to the level of the leader of the region where it is located, decided on the statehood philosophy of Heydar Aliyev.
Our Honorable President Mr. Ilham Aliyev ensured the comprehensive development of our Azerbaijan with his faithful activity to this political course, as well as his professionalism, great ability, thoughtful important decisions and bold steps. It also made the greatest desire of our Great Leader – the territorial integrity of our Motherland – a reality. At present, we are living in the country that Heydar Aliyev aimed for and wanted to see. This is mighty, proud and glorious Azerbaijan.”
Sattar Mohbaliyev, chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Union Confederation (AHIK), deputy of the Milli Majlis, expressed these views to the mass media.
According to him, President Ilham Aliyev changed the course of history with his wise policy and determination, ended the Karabakh conflict with a brilliant victory, and overturned all meaningless predictions and prejudices: “It was a really difficult mission. After our victory, we saw it clearly.
But what was the result!? All attempts have failed, because Azerbaijan has taken such an irreversible path that it is impossible to influence its will. This is reality, and everything is obvious. We used to say that the documents accepted against Azerbaijan are an ordinary piece of paper. And so it happened. Today, our President is rebuilding completely destroyed and destroyed East Zangezur and Karabakh, building new cities, towns, and villages. It creates all kinds of modern conditions for residents to live happily and prosperously in their homes.
Most importantly, all these works are carried out at the expense of Azerbaijan’s internal capabilities. Look, this is a powerful state, a strong economy. Some of the internally displaced persons have already returned to their homes. The joy on their faces makes each of us proud. And we are witnessing what the concept of homeland means to Azerbaijanis.”
“Every visit of our head of state to those areas is remembered with great news. Mr. Ilham Aliyev every time lays the foundations of new settlements, villages, inaugurates residential complexes and facilities. It is no coincidence that he went to our liberated territories on May 10 – the Great Leader’s birthday. This is an indication of deep respect for the dear memory of the National Leader.
One of the proudest moments during the visit was the President’s participation in the opening of the first residential complex in Shusha and the meeting with the first residents who moved to the city. Shusha is the fortress of our zeal, the chronicle of our heroism, the highest value that declares our love for the Motherland to the world. From the period of occupation, from the liberation of Shusha to the present situation, our people have proven this. Our dear Shusha, which became more holy with the blood of our martyrs and is currently experiencing a period of revival, has already embraced its residents. Of course, this view makes each of us proud. As happy as we are, the souls of Panahali Khan, Nateva, Vagif, Uzeyir, Bulbul, as well as all our martyrs are equally happy,” Sattar Mohbaliyev said.
“The magnificence of the construction works in Shusha is also that the architectural style and uniqueness of the city is preserved. Constructions are based on modern urban planning rules, residential houses are more beautiful and comfortable. I would like to especially mention the work of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and its head, Mehriban Aliyeva, in the restoration works carried out in Shusha, as well as in other territories freed from occupation. The fund shows great dedication in restoration of historical and cultural heritage, creation of social and humanitarian infrastructure, construction and improvement works. In addition to local experts, foreign experts were also invited to the implementation of special projects initiated by Mehriban Aliyeva’s instructions. The Foundation has already restored Yukhari Govhar Aga, Saatli mosques in Shusha, as well as the mosque in the territory of Mehmandarov’s manor complex and has been in use since last year. On May 10, Mamayi Mosque was inaugurated after restoration. All this, first of all, is the embodiment of Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva’s patriotism and her great love for our history, culture, and art,” the AHIK chairman emphasized.
