A significant period in the history of Azerbaijan of the 20th century is closely connected with the brilliant personality of Heydar Aliyev and his great activity of state building. Heydar Aliyev is the founder of new Azerbaijan, the winner of the liberation struggle of our people. He is the creator of the most popular and modern political party in Azerbaijan - the New Azerbaijan Party. For ten years of his life, Heydar Aliyev created the most modern, democratic, legal and secular state for his people. Our independent state - the Republic of Azerbaijan - is a masterpiece of a great leader and a sacred gift to our native people.
