There are deep-rooted historical and cultural ties between Azerbaijan and Türkiye. Esteemed Aliyev made exceptional deeds for the revival of these historical ties and the development of relations between Türkiye and Azerbaijan.

The success achieved after Heydar Alirza oglu’s election as the president is obvious. A nation without a competent leader is not capable of anything. Heydar Alirza oglu is a powerful Turk as Ataturk. Ataturk is a great personality who matures once in a hundred years. Under the leadership of Heydar Alirza oglu, Azerbaijan will get rid of its troubles.

The death of esteemed Heydar Aliyev, who made great contributions to the full independence of Azerbaijan after the collapse of the Soviet Union, is a great loss for your country, our country, and the whole world. As Heydar Aliyev said, we are one nation, two separate states.

Honorable Heydar Aliyev, who contributed to the development of peace and democracy not only in Azerbaijan but throughout the Caucasus, will never be forgotten. I believe that the significance of the esteemed Heydar Aliyev will be better understood day by day in his country, in the region, and even in the world.
