Senior Russian official: Heydar Aliyev was very wise leader, who played major role in Azerbaijan’s formation
The national leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev was a very wise
leader who played a major role in the formation of Azerbaijan,
member of the Public Chamber of Russia, authorised assistant to the
Russian president and pro-rector of Plekhanov University Sergei
Markov believes.
He said that Azerbaijan, torn by civil war, was able to build a
modern economic and political system and achieved unity of the
people under leadership of Heydar Aliyev and president Ilham
Aliyev.
Markov said that Heydar Aliyev was truly a wise man, and an example
for many leaders.
"We wish victory to President Ilham Aliyev at the upcoming
presidential elections. I am sure he will get the support of the
majority of Azerbaijani citizens. Azerbaijan has blossomed and
today is perhaps the only post-Soviet republic which lives better
than under the Soviet regime," he said.
Markov also praised Azerbaijan's contribution to the victory of the
Great Patriotic War and expressed gratitude to the Azerbaijani
people for their great deed.
Markov arrived in Baku in connection with the celebration of the
Victory Day.
