HARRY HOOLYKEN, CHIEF OF SECURITY SERVICE OF THE CLEVELAND CLINICS: “HEYDAR ALIYEV WAS THE PERSON, WHO SET TURNING POINT IN THE HISTORY”
Then, I even did not imagine that between the Aliyevs, the persons accompanied the President and, me will establish strange relations. We have made friends. Pleasant minutes were together pleased, and during heavy time - consoled each other.
Heydar (I and the grandfather) spoke English a little. But on his blue eyes I could feel, what he wants to tell. Even those days when he felt like badly, I felt myself happy from his one handshake and a warm smile. He could not say completely my surname and simply spoke “ Greetings, Holy! ”. These words, his smile and handshake will never be erased from my memory.
Heydar was the person who created a turning point in the history. I with pride can tell, that was familiar with him and made friends with persons accompanied him. These memoirs I shall keep in the heart for long years as a consolation. Transferring feelings of the deepest grief in connection with death of Heydar, I also express before his spirit gratitude proceeding from heart for our developing friendship, a close acquaintance with me at a personal level. To be near to him was miracle. Such a miracle can take place only once in the life. It will be difficult for me to share these feelings with the grandsons, but I shall try to make it ”.
