LEONID KUCHMA, PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE: “REVIVAL OF THE AZERBAIJANI STATE WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT SELF-SACRIFICING ACTIVITY OF HEYDAR ALIYEV”
… On my deep belief, process of revival of your state, becoming a democratic society and deep economic transformations would be inconceivable without your self-sacrificing activity as an outstanding statesman and politician, the person, whose spirit and flesh is from the spirit and flesh of the Azerbaijani people.
Results of the elections in your country became bright confirmation that the people of Azerbaijan trusts in your wisdom and sees in your image of the head, which confidently conducts Azerbaijan to prosperity and well being. Due to your efforts, the world community with deep respect concerns to your country and by the right counts it the stronghold of peace and stability in the region.
It is sincerely glad, that in your person Ukraine has found a close and reliable friend”.
October 1998

“The irreplaceable leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev was my close friend and the friend of Ukrainian people. Our friendly attitudes developed and became stronger due to him. Heydar Aliyev was the ingenious person, the wise person. It is confident that the Azerbaijani people will further realize Heydar Aliyev’s greatness even more deeply”.
