Heydar Aliyev was a happy person. Not everybody is gifted to do during one period of life as much as he was able to do. Heydar Aliyev has begun his unordinary life as a worthy son of his nation, living a glorious life ended it as a worthy Father of his Nation.

As a result of his weighted internal policy, Azerbaijan has become one of the investment and energy centers of the world.
The wisdom says: “A man during a life period has to plant a tree, build a house and bring up a son”.
Heydar Aliyev has created a beautiful garden, which is named as blooming Azerbaijan.
Heydar Aliyev has built a house, which is named as Sovereign Azerbaijan.
Heydar Aliyev has brought up a worthy son, who continues today the glorious and responsible job started by his father and who entrusted its future by Azerbaijani nation.
Heydar Aliyev has been lost not only by Azerbaijani nation, not only You esteemed President. That is also a big loss for the whole world community because was a politician of world-fame, and at this uneasy for all of us time the world needs such politicians like Heydar Aliyev.
Only one consolation. We are sure that everything that Your father didn’t have time for, Yu will do, Mr. President, together with Your nation and that will become the worthiest monument of His bright memory.
