June 15, 1993, when National Leader Heydar Aliyev headed the National Assembly of Azerbaijan and thus changed the fate of the country, is recognized by the people of Azerbaijan as the National Salvation Day and celebrated as the official holiday.

The Republic of Azerbaijan has been liberated from the internal threats and great difficulties faced in the first years of its independence thanks to the solid statehood of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev and the wartime wisdom and control of the domestic chaos and social cohesion.

The process of continuing to maintain stability within the country with the bold and balanced policies of the Distinguished Leader has been transformed into comprehensive work in political, economic, social and cultural fields in the direction of access to development and refuctions since this date.

On behalf of the Turkic Council and my own behalf, I convey my heartfelt congratulations to the Azerbaijani people on the occasion of 15 June - National Salvation Day and I bow with respect in front of the honorable memory of Heydar Aliyev, the National Leader of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Ambassador Ramil Hasan
Secretary General of the Turkic Council
