His Excellency Mr Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Dear Ilham Heydar oglu,
Please accept my sincerest congratulations on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
This remarkable event is the most glorious page in the history of not only Azerbaijan, but also in the world history.
The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the first democratic republic in the Muslim world and the people of Azerbaijan who established it demonstrated their love for freedom and independence.
Azerbaijan is today actively and dynamically developing. The republic`s industrial potential is gradually modernizing, the country`s investment attractiveness is increasing and the well-being of the people is improving day by day. This bears evidence to the efficiency of your policy aimed at ensuring sustainable development of your economy and providing a high standard of living.
On the occasion of this holiday, I wish you and the people of Azerbaijan prosperity, peace, happiness, the best of health and new success.
Sincerely,
Sergey Mikhaylov
