ZEMFIRA MEFTAHETDINOVA: FAREWELL WORDS OF HEYDAR ALIYEV INSPIRED ME FOR GREAT VICTORIES
“The memory of Heydar Aliyev will always live in the hearts of the people of Azerbaijan. It was great, wise leader and politician. I think that people lost not only their leader but also their father: cause Heydar Aliyev is called father of the nation. His role and services in building up Azerbaijan are great. He will have an eternal memory for things he had done for his people. He managed to secure stability and peace in Azerbaijan within short time. Today, Azerbaijan is known throughout the world. People must be satisfied for destiny of their children, and finally, the economy is developing – exactly Heydar Aliyev has services for all these accomplishments”.
Our nationwide leader paid a great attention to development of sports in Azerbaijan. For all athletes it proved to be unforgettable to meet with him before Olympic games-2000. In the course of the meeting, his good-bye words inspired me for great victories. Undoubtedly, exactly in Sydney Azerbaijan national team won two gold medals and one bronze medal for the first time in the history.
Today, all athletes and all are in mourning on this irreparable loss. However, Heydar Aliyev has brought up his worthy successor. We are confident that President of Azerbaijan, President of the National Olympic Committee Ilham Aliyev will make all Heydar Aliyev’s ideas on the further prosperity of homeland come true” – she said.
