HEYDAR ALIYEV WAS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND TALENTED POLITICIANS, WHO COULD FORESEE WORLD’S HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin: “Without exaggeration it can be said, Heydar Aliyev was a political giant”
Heydar Aliyev was, indeed, Russia’s great friend, we felt it and appreciate it. Azerbaijan during these years was one of the rare CIS countries where the Russian speaking schools were not closed, number of the Russian language editions were not reduced, on the contrary, they exceeded number of editions in soviet times.
He was great statesman. Without any exaggeration, he was political giant. I simple, treated him with great respect, I loved him. This is a heavy loss.
