- Dear Shafiga Khanum, I sincerely congratulate you on your upcoming birthday and wish you good health and continued success. For many years, you have played a vital role in the development of Azerbaijani culture. You have made invaluable contributions to the theater and cinema arts of our country. As a beautiful actress, educator, and public figure, you have earned the well-deserved respect and acclaim of our people. National Leader Heydar Aliyev always highly appreciated your activities, and you are well aware of this. Even during Soviet times, you were honored with state awards both from the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Soviet Union. During the years of independence, in 2000, by the Order of the National Leader, you were awarded the “Shohrat” Order. Since then, the state of Azerbaijan has consistently recognized your efforts, presenting you with high distinctions. By my orders, you have been awarded the “Sharaf” Order, the “Amak” Order of the First Category, and a Certificate of Merit. According to the Order I signed today, you are now being awarded the “Istiglal” Order. Please allow me to present this high award, this supreme award to you.
