Vice-speaker: National Salvation Day is starting point of Azerbaijan's independence

Azerbaijan's independence begins on June 15, the National Salvation Day, when the great leader Heydar Aliyev came to power for the second time, the vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova said in an interview with the ruling New Azerbaijan Party.

"June 15 - National Salvation Day - is the starting point when Azerbaijan gained independence and achieved its steadfastness and eternity," the vice speaker said.

Muradova said that as of this day of national celebration, Azerbaijan was able to represent itself as an independent state. Muradova added that representing an independent state allowed Heydar Aliyev to prove worldwide that Azerbaijan’s independence is eternal.

"Today, Azerbaijan is notable for its status as a world and regional power. We are already in the process of joining the developed countries", the vice speaker said.

Muradova added that Heydar Aliyev implemented the most priority tasks in the ten years between 1993 and 2003. During this period, Azerbaijan restored its independence, formed a strong army, mobilized its economic potential, made close partnership with many countries through ongoing economic projects, and has learned to organize various economic initiatives.

Muradova said that no matter how challenging, but Heydar Aliyev was able to cope with problems that arose.

"The result was that the Azerbaijani people clearly accept and protect the ideological and political line defined by Heydar Aliyev, Muradova said." It is reflected in the program and the charter of the ruling party. The people believe in this policy. It is of great importance for the success of Azerbaijan."
