An online conference was held at the Heydar Aliyev Museum in Nakhchivan dedicated to the 97th birthday of national leader Heydar Aliyev.

Speaking at the event, chairman of the Nakhchivan Division of ANAS academician Ismayil Hajiyev, said that although our republic occupied one of the last places in the former union in the 60s of the last century, all spheres began to develop rapidly after the leadership of a prominent statesman, in a short time our republic became an agro-industrial country. During this period, hundreds of educational, health and cultural institutions were built in Azerbaijan, and new industrial enterprises were created.

“Thanks to the unprecedented services to Azerbaijan during both periods of political leadership, the name of the great leader went down in Russian history as the founder of our national statehood,” said Ismail Hajiyev, noting that the national leader Heydar Aliyev, who came to power for the second time in 1993, saved Azerbaijan from destruction and decay, created a new state and defined its strategy of political and economic development for decades to come. The foundation of economic independence and integration of our country into the world economic system was laid in 1994 with the signing of the "Contract of the Century" under the leadership of the great leader Heydar Aliyev.

The head of the department noted that the achievements of national leader Heydar Aliyev are invaluable in protecting the autonomy of our ancient land of Nakhchivan, protecting it from Armenian occupation and achieving today's development.

Then the first vice-president of ANAS, academician Isa Habibbayli delivered a lecture on "The Doctrine of the Statehood of National Leader Heydar Aliyev and the Modern Era." The scientist noted that the outstanding statesman Heydar Aliyev is one of the rare world leaders of the twentieth century. He was represented in the Politburo of the former USSR and for a long time led Azerbaijan. At the first stage of this political activity, he did a great job of preparing his people for future independence and played an important role in national awakening.

The first-vice president emphasized that thanks to the great leader Heydar Aliyev, who lived in Nakhchivan in 1991-1993, a number of important political decisions were made aimed at the future independence of Azerbaijan.

The rector of Nakhchivan State University (NSU), associate professor Elbrus Isayev, presenting a lecture on the theme “Great Leader Heydar Aliyev and Nakhchivan State University”, said that Great Leader Heydar Aliyev, who arrived on this ancient land on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, first expressed his opinion on the need to create an independent state university on the basis of the existing Pedagogical Institute in Nakhchivan during a meeting with teachers and students of the Nakhchivan State Pedagogical Institute. In 1990-1993, despite the difficult situation created by the then government of Azerbaijan, the great leader Heydar Aliyev achieved development in the field of higher education as chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

Rector of the Nakhchivan Pedagogical Institute, Doctor of Philosophy in Pedagogy Azad Novruzov made a report "National Leader Heydar Aliyev and Education Policy" and said that in the field of education, great successes were achieved in education, which is considered the stage of revival in the history of education Azerbaijan.

The rector of Nakhchivan University, PhD in Philology Nurlan Aliyeva, in her report on the role of the great leader Heydar Aliyev in the training of highly educated personnel, said that 5 new higher educational institutions were opened in the country during the leadership of Azerbaijan’s national leader during the Soviet period. The number of people receiving education has increased from 70,000 to 100,000. Thanks to the initiative and direct patronage of the great leader Heydar Aliyev, every year since 1970, 800-900 young people went to study at prestigious universities of the USSR. During the first leadership of the nationwide leader, the number of higher education institutions in Azerbaijan increased from 12 to 17.
