“We have inherited independent, strong, economically developed Azerbaijan from Heydar Aliyev,” Seyidov, who is also head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), said.

"Today, we see the contribution of Heydar Aliyev in all spheres of Azerbaijan,” he said. “The work he has done for the Azerbaijanis is bearing fruit today."

Seyidov stressed that in the first years of independence, Azerbaijan was in a very difficult situation, on the one hand, the country was subjected to Armenian occupation, on the other hand – the country faced with the threat of a civil war.

The country was able to avoid troubles and was developing thanks to Heydar Aliyev’s prudent policy and firmness. Fundamental reforms were carried out in all spheres of the country."

The country began to implement large-scale international projects. The oil contract signed under the leadership of national leader Heydar Aliyev on September 20, 1994 oil, which went down in history as the “Contract of the Century”, ensured Azerbaijan’s future development.”
