Baku/18.10.21/Turan: President Ilham Aliyev addressed the nation on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the restoration of the state independence of Azerbaijan.

"On October 18, 1991, Azerbaijan had the opportunity to gain independence for the second time in the twentieth century. Having adopted the Constitutional Act on the State Independence of the country, Azerbaijan declared to the whole world that it is the legal successor to the People's Republic of Azerbaijan," the statement reads.

Judging by Aliyev's speech, there was neither Ayaz Mutalibov nor Abulfaz Elchibey in the history of Azerbaijan, and all achievements are associated with the name of Heydar Aliyev only. 

"By signing the Contract of the Century, which played a decisive role in the country's future, Azerbaijan held a special place on the world energy map, joined the process of integration into the global economic environment and took challenging steps to gain succes in the future," Aliyev said.

"Azerbaijan pursues an independent foreign policy based on its national interests and is recognized in the world as a reliable partner," Aliyev further noted.

Also, he particularly touched upon the the last year's 44-day war in Karabakh, as a result of which Azerbaijan restored historical justice.

Note that Azerbaijan's victory in the Great Patriotic War created new realities in the region. "Today, for the first time in our 30-year history of independence, we are celebrating the anniversary of the restoration of our independence as a victorious country that secured its territorial integrity," the statement reads. -06B-
