His political acumen and invaluable human qualities propelled the young nation onto its feet, enabling it to confidently stride into the 21st century as an independent country. Under his leadership, he assumed the responsibility of steering the country, uniting like-minded individuals, and together, overcoming immense challenges to forge a resilient and sovereign state – the modern Azerbaijan.

Guided by his leadership, Azerbaijan attained remarkable success in its economy, positioning itself at the forefront on a regional scale.
Throughout these years, the country’s industrial potential more than doubled.
On the somber day of January 20, 1990, when a substantial contingent of troops forcefully entered Baku and perpetrated a massacre, Heydar Aliyev was the first to demand justice for the organizers and perpetrators of this heinous crime against the Azerbaijani people.

Heydar Aliyev diplomatically resolved discrepancies surrounding the signing of the historic « contract of the century » on September 20, 1994, an event that remains one of the greatest and most significant milestones of the 20th century.
During his ten-year presidency, Heydar Aliyev implemented sweeping reforms in Azerbaijan, transforming a country ravaged by devastation into a thriving and resilient nation.

Adopting a pragmatic and balanced foreign policy approach, Heydar Aliyev forged constructive relationships with China, the United States, the European Union, as well as fostering wise partnerships with neighboring countries such as Turkey, Russia, and Iran.
