We commemorate with deep respect the dear memory of Heydar Aliyev, the National Leader of the brotherly Azerbaijani people today - on a day marking the 100th Anniversary of his birth. As is known, 2023 has been declared the "Year of Heydar Aliyev" in Azerbaijan.

Heydar Aliyev is a brilliant leader who opened up wide opportunities for making Azerbaijan a strong and modern state. Thanks to his patriotism, wisdom and iron will, Azerbaijan achieved tremendous progress in the way of political, socioeconomic, scientific-technical and cultural development.

Heydar Aliyev is one of the architects of the Turkic World with his significant contributions in bringing the brotherly Turkic countries and peoples together.
