The presentation ceremony of the fundamental monograph “Heydar Aliyev’s Great Political Path” by Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Associate Professor Khatira Guliyeva, Head of the Multiculturalism and Tolerance Philosophy Department of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of ANAS, was held at the Central Scientific Library (CSL) on December 10.

First, dear memory of National Leader Heydar Aliyev and our martyrs was honored with a minute of silence.

Making the opening speech, the President of ANAS, Academician Isa Habibbeyli mentioned that these days a series of commemorative events dedicated to the memory of Heydar Aliyev, the National Leader of the Azerbaijani people and a world-renowned statesman, are held both in the country and abroad. He noted that the commemorative events dedicated to National Leader Heydar Aliyev began at ANAS with the extensive presentation of the book “Haydar Aliyev. İnsan yüreği ile Haydar Baba” by Turkish scientist-journalist Aysel Sadak Iltash. 

Academician Isa Habibbeyli emphasized that the commemorative events highlight the great leader’s rich statehood activities, his historical services to the Azerbaijani people and state, the steps he took for the country’s future, his mission as a savior, and his state-building policy. Additionally, the events showcase historical achievements of Azerbaijan under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, who successfully continues Heydar Aliyev’s policy.

Academician Isa Habibbeyli said that Heydar Aliyev, National Leader of the Azerbaijani people was one of the rare figures in world history who truly created a perfect national statehood doctrine. He highlighted that even during the Soviet period, Heydar Aliyev took significant steps to protect the national interests of the Azerbaijani people, elevated the Azerbaijani language to the status of a state language, rescued our state from numerous challenges and difficulties, and laid the strong foundations of our independent statehood. The Academician emphasized that the lessons of his life and struggle devoted to the people and the state, along with the rich experience of the difficult and glorious path, demonstrate that Heydar Aliyev’s statehood policy is a systematic doctrine and a perfect ideology.

The head of ANAS emphasized that it is a duty of Azerbaijani artistic and scientific thinking to create a literature and science of the grand policy pursued by the powerful statesman for nearly half a century. This is also essential for conveying the extraordinary statehood model, born from Heydar Aliyev’s intellect, which was formed from the magnificent synthesis of profound political and scientific-literary thought, from generation to generation.

Academician Isa Habibbeyli said that the scientific institutions of the Humanitarian and Social Sciences Divisions of ANAS have engaged in research on different areas of the rich statehood activity of the National Leader. During the “Year of Heydar Aliyev”, 52 fundamental works about the National Leader were published by the Academy.

The President of ANAS said: “Khatira Guliyeva has conducted a comprehensive study of Heydar Aliyev’s life and struggle within the framework of the book “Heydar Aliyev’s Great Political Path”. She scientifically and objectively substantiated that his responsible and honorable activity represents a significant statehood school and an independent statehood doctrine. Furthermore, for the first time, the book offers a comparative analysis of Heydar Aliyev’s national state ideology with the political ideologies of globally renowned political figures Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and Mahatma Gandhi. The political governance of the great leader, covering nearly 40 years, and his honorable journey as a prominent statesman have been evaluated with scientific objectivity, based on rich materials, along with their philosophical essence and significance”.

Academician Isa Habibbeyli noted that Khatira Guliyeva’s new book is commendable as a continuation of the ideas in her previous books in this direction, including numerous articles published both in the country and abroad. She has expanded the study of Heydar Aliyev with yet another fundamental monograph.

The head of ANAS underlined that the publication is a valuable work for those studying the heritage of the National Leader and emphasized that it will contribute to raising the new generation in the spirit of Azerbaijanism ideology.

At the presentation ceremony, the director as well as deputy director of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of ANAS, department heads, researchers, and others, also delivered speeches, stating that Associate Professor Khatira Guliyeva’s monograph is the result of many years of dedicated work.

The author of the publication, Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Associate Professor Khatira Guliyeva, Head of the Multiculturalism and Tolerance Philosophy Department of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of ANAS, spoke about the process of creating the fundamental monograph. She said that the study of the life and work of the prominent statesman is one of the main directions of her scientific activity and expressed her gratitude to the leadership of ANAS for their support in the preparation, publication, and presentation of the book.
