About organization of the award "Heydar Aliyev"

Long-term, rich political activities of the national leader of the Azerbaijani people, architect and founder of the independent Azerbaijani state Heydar Aliyev played exclusive role in the history of statehood of our people.

As a result of Heydar Aliyev's activities in the seventies the last century the social and economic foundation for independent Azerbaijan was laid. Under the leadership of Heydar Aliyev in 1969-1982 Azerbaijan as a part of the USSR turned into the republic having modern economic potential strong premises for future state independence of our country were created. As a result of bystry economic development Azerbaijan became one of the few republics which are independently providing themselves and not receiving the grant from the Allied budget. These years thanks to Heydar Aliyev's efforts the actions which gave impetus to development of national consciousness, culture and language were performed. Azerbaijan was one of three republics as a part of the USSR in which Constitution - to Azerbaijani - the state status was provided to the main spoken language.

In the first years after recovery of the state independence by Azerbaijan as a result of inexperienced policy of forces replacing each other in power there was danger of disintegration of the country and fall of national statehood. Azerbaijan was on the threshold of civil war. The occupational policy of Armenia, the political contentions reigning within the country threatened existence of the state. During such difficult and difficult period return of Heydar Aliyev having wide political experience to management of the country according to the persistent requirement of the people became the main factor for preserving and strengthening of the state independence of Azerbaijan.
