Azerbaijan on Saturday has commemorated the 17th anniversary of death of former President Heydar Aliyev.
Aliyev, who served at high-ranking positions in the Soviet Union, played a savior role for his country that had been facing the threat of civil war, the Nagorno-Karabakh fight, and economic crisis after independence.
He is commemorated with respect and gratitude in Azerbaijan and his people keep his memory alive as the “national leader”.
Aliyev was born on May 10, 1923, in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.
He graduated from the Nakhchivan Pedagogical Technical School in 1939, then enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture of the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute, but could not complete his education due to the outbreak of World War II.
