In our republic, Heydar Aliyev is known as a wise politician and statesman, one of the most famous politicians in the world. The people of Ossetia are proud that in the current difficult time of the Caucasus, Azerbaijan is led by such an outstanding politician as Heydar Aliyev. Our people have always experienced this feeling of pride when you were the first secretary of Azerbaijan, when you worked as a member of the Politburo, as the First Deputy Premier of the Soviet Union, when you were the curator of 19 allied ministries, and now when you are the president of independent Azerbaijan.
