PRESIDENT HEYDAR ALIYEV’S HEALTH IMPROVES DAY BY DAY
President Heydar Aliyev’s health improves day by day. I had a telephone talk with him. He is in very good mood, the treatment is successfully continuing. I also talked to the doctors treating the President. They spoke of the President’s good health too and stressed that considerable changes for the better had occurred in Heydar Aliyev’s health since he arrived in Cleveland. Of course, we are extremely pleased of this and sure that having successfully completed the treatment, our President will return to homeland very soon.
I must say the matter concerns therapeutic treatment only, no other measures are envisioned. With God's help on return to homeland, the President will join the election campaign, and I am sure Azerbaijani people will once again give Heydar Aliyev a vote of confidence and elect him the Head of State.
