Baku: Heydar Aliyev’s influence was instrumental in fulfilling the Azerbaijani people’s aspirations for sovereignty and independence. “Whether at the beginning or the end of the 20th century, the events surrounding Azerbaijan’s pursuit of independence clearly demonstrated that one of the decisive factors for a state striving for sovereignty is the presence of a strong and patriotic leader-someone capable of accurately assessing the real situation, mobilizing all state resources toward a unified goal, possessing broad vision and firm convictions, having endured life’s harsh trials, and being deeply devoted to their country and people,” this concept is central to the article “Constitution and Sovereignty: Fundamental Pillars of Heydar Aliyev’s Political Legacy” by Samir Nuriyev, Head of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Azerbaijan, APA reports.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Samir Nuriyev highlighted that Heydar Aliyev’s leadership was crucial when Azerbaijan had the opportunity to regain its independence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His presence was decisive in realizing the nation’s aspirations for sovereignty and independence.
