The speakers emphasized that Azerbaijan has an ancient and rich tradition of statehood, spoke about the history of the formation of our statehood, the tumultuous and at the same time glorious development. It was especially noted that after the return of national leader Heydar Aliyev to power in 1993, a modern model of statehood was created in Azerbaijan, and important steps were taken to form a legally, democratically and economically strong state. At present, the domestic and foreign policy pursued under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev is aimed at further strengthening our national statehood and ensuring our national interests to the maximum.
