In October 1987, Heydar Aliyev retired from his office in protest against the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee's policies, and the personal policies of the General Secretary Mi khayil Gorbachov.

On the day following the horrible massacre perpetrated by the Soviet troops on January 20,1990 in Baku, Heydar Aliyev made a political declaration at Azerbaijan's diplomatic mission in Moscow demanding punishment for those who had organized and participated in the crime against his nation and people. This declaration heralded the beginning of a new political era in Azerbaijan and the Soviet Union as a whole.

In protest against the hypocritical policy followed by the USSR Government on the critical situation in Daghlig Garabagh (Nagorny Karabakh)*, Heydar Aliyev resigned from the CPSU in July 1991. He completed his applecation addressed to the party organization of the USSR Soviet of Ministers with the following words: "People should know the truth, that, the communist experi- ment and the policy of socialism have failed, and the Union of Republics that was established and maintained by power of force is now collapsing.

Heydar Aliyev returned to Azerbaijan in July 1990. He first stayed in Baku and then in Nakhchivan and was elected a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan in the same year. In 1992 he was elected the Chairman of the Yeni Azerbaijan (New Azerbaijan) Party at the party's constituent congress in Nakhchivan.

~ h r d u ~ h o u t 1991-1993 he was the chairman of the Supreme Assembly of the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan and the deputy chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

By May-June 1993 the nation was collapsing into permanent crisis and there was a tangible danger of civil war and the loss of the independence of Azerbaijan. At this critical point the people of Azerbaijan urged Heydar Aliyev to return to power. The Azeri government of that time responded to the demands of the people and invited him to return to Baku. Heydar Aliyev was elected the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan on June 15th, and began fulfilling the duties of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on June 24th following the decision of the National Assembly (Milli Majlis).

Heydar Aliyev was elected the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the national referendum on October 3, 1993. ~ u r i n g the inauguration ceremony on October loth he stated: "As I undertake this high and responsible position, I first and foremost put my trust

On October 11, 1998 at elections, characterized by a very large electoral turnout , Heydar Aliyev gained 76.1% of all votes and was elected the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan for the second time. Later in responce to popular demand he reluctantly agreed to run for the presidential elections that were scheduled for October 15,2003, but in the end his health did not permit this. Heydar Aliyev died at the Cleveland hospital (USA) where he was undergoing a course of treatment on December lZth, 2003. He was buried in the Honorable Burial Avenue in Baku on December 15th, 2003.

In his extraordinary lifetime Heydar Aliyev received numerous international rewards. He was the honorary doctor of different universities around the world and had other highly prestigious titles. In Soviet Times he was awarded the Order of Lenin and the Order of Red Star four times and received other numerous medals. Heydar Aliyev was also twice named Hero of the Socialist Labor. He was conferred to orders and medals of several foreign countries.

For 34 years starting in the late 1960's = and passing into the 21" century the history of Azerbaijan is closely connected with the name of the great national leader, Heydar Aliyev. Throughout these years he was accountable for the fate of Azerbaijan as a Citizen, Person, and Leader. As a state and national leader, he guided Azerbaijan through all the difficulties and established a reliable foundation of an independent state, its present truth and bright tomorrow. He was behind the revival in all spheres of the social, political, socio-economic and cultural lives of the nation of Azerbaijan during these years.

Many things were written about Heydar Aliyev's contributions to his home country and nation, to which he dedicated his whole conscious life and which he loved as if it were his child.

However, his many accomli~hments should be seen only as his first steps, because thorough and comprehensive research and long years are needed to provide a complete description of the personality, phenomena, and merits of Heydar Aliyev. We can try to present brief concise information regarding the tremendous activities carried out by the Great kerbaijani, Heydar Aliyev, during the last decade of his historic life, which can serve as a striking example to the current and future generations.

When Heydar Al iyev ascended to the leadership of Azerbaijan in 1969, the country was undergaing a severe social and economic depression and was viewed as an unpromising province of the USSR. The Soviet leadership believed that Azerbaijan's oil deposits had lost their

previous importance and its oil-oriented - economy would never flourish again. This was the fate of the oil country whose resources were key to the victory over German fascism. Instead of seeking alter- native routes to the development and prosperity of: Azerbaijan, the previous rulers of the country meekly reconciled themselves to negative propensities and began to secretly struggle for top ranking in power

Heydar Aliyev's coming to power in such a period was the turning point in the history of Azerbaijan. Complex programs concerning the dynamic development of Azerbaijan were developed. Heydar Aliyev initiated the government's adoption of 5 special programs for the comprehensive and intensive development of the Azerbaijani economy. Nothing like this had ever been done in Azerbaijan before and, as a result of their success, this came to be seen as an historic moment interest of our republic and people. Thanks to the organisational skills and indefatigable activite of Heydar Aliyev, wide changes have taken place in all fields in Azerbaijan life. After Russian Federation Azerbaijan was the second republic that lived without receiving state subsidies. The great potential that was established in Azerbaijan during that period is still continuing to serve our independent country. As a prescient and wise leader, Heydar Aliyev clearly realized that economic independence was the factor that would determine and sustain national political independence. This is why it is difficult to disagree with

researchers stating that the present state sovereignty and economic independence of Azerbaijan, as well as its continuing integration into the world economy are based on the potential that was established in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

That was the period of the modern renaissance. 213 large and medium industrial enterprises were put into operation in Azerbaijan in fifteen years; this was equal to the number of the enterprises established in Azerbaijan over the previous 40 years. More than 70% of the oil field producing equipment in the USSR was manufactured in Azerbaijan. New industrial spheres such as the production of tools, electronics, and electrical engineering were established. A significant scope of works was accomplished to regain the previous famous status Azerbaijani oil production. Offshore oil and gas extraction increased, and oil industry workers were provided with modern drilling equipment, giant cranes and specialized ships. The Deep Water Jackets Factory, so crucial to the current exploitation of Azerbaijan's large offshore oil and gas resources, was also built during that period.

At the same time the agricultural sector was also experiencing an unprecedented pace of development, within ten years the production increased by 2.7 times. During this period grape production increased from 272,000 tons to 1,481,000 tons, cotton production from 335,600 tons to 831,200 tons, vegetable production from 410,000 tons

Baktda, respublikanln :,ahar va rayon- larlnda boyuk quruculuq va abadl~q i>lari gorulmu~du. 1971-1983-cij illarda taxmi- nan 18,3 milyon kvadratmetr manzil tikilmi:,di ki, bu da 1920-'1983-cii illarda istifadaya verilmi:, manzil fondunun 33 faizina barabar idi.

Wide-scale construction and reconstruction works were carried out in Baku and other cities as well as regions throughout the Republic. 18.3 million square meters of apartments were built during 1971-1993, which comprises 33% of the apartments built from 1920-1983. This means that 1.7 million citizens, i.e., every fourth citizen in the Republic, improved his/her living conditions. This period also witnessed a significant change in the social outlook and living conditions of Azerbaijani villages. 4.8 million square meters of

It is certain that none of these steps was achieved easily. The domestic "intellectuals with the Bolshevik spirit" and especially Armenian nationalists playing their historical role as enemies of Azerbaijan, did their best to prevent this process. It is sufficient to remember the obstacles faced by the erection of the monument of Nariman Narimanov; the creation of the "Gobustan" collection that was very popular among the youth at that time; and the production of the motion picture "Bir canub ~aharinda"

However, these obstacles could not deter a man like Heydar Aliyev of his word. His strong logic successfully overcame both the hidden and open obstacles, and with rigorous logic characteristic of him he proved his rightness.

Heydar Aliyev's concept of national revival and an Azerbaijani national ideology was, first of all, targeted at the youth. Some 700-800 worthy young students in the late 1970 '~~ and 1,000- 1,400 persons (most of them Azeris) in the early 1980's were sent to different higher educational institutions throughout the USSR. In this way, Heydar Aliyev accomplished two of his goals: an increase in the scientific and human

Some of these students stayed in the places they were sent to study and came to form the core of the Azerbaijani diaspora within the former I Soviet territory.

When we consider Heydar Aliyev's many accomplishments, we should particularly emphasize the opening of the Jumshid Nakhchivansky's Specialized School. General Heydar Aliyev was well aware of the importance of ensuring that the country has qualified military armed services and achieved the goal of opening the first military training school of this kind in any post soviet territory. 300-400 young persons from Azerbaijan went to study in military academies in the 1970's. This number reached 800- 1,000 in the early 19801s, of which the majority of students were Azerbaijanis. This school, of which Heydar Aliyev was very proud, currently operates as the Military Lyceum.

Heydar Aliyev attached great importance to the Azerbaijani language as a pillar supporting the national revival and national self -consciousness. It was through his efforts that the Azerbaijani language, which had been neglected for many years, regained its earlier reputation. Heydar Aliyev insisted that the Azerbaijani language be accepted as the state language in the Constitution, which was adopted in 1978. Heydar Aliyev, did

From that time on, Heydar Aliyev was not just a leader of one of 15 Soviet republics, but a leader of the authoritative country like the Soviet Union. This led to a significant increase in his authority and the scope and importance of his activities.

As a part of the political adminis- tration of the Soviet Union, holding a senior position in the goverment, Heydar Aliyev was heading one of the most important sectors of the socio-economic complex. 15 large Soviet ministries were operating under his direct supervision.

14 years as the leader of Azerbaijan and 5 years in the supreme authority of Azerbaijan demanded great personal energy. The ordinary Azerbaijanis who are proud of Heydar Aliyev may not even imagine how much hardship and heavy life and work regime were the cost for these major successes.

When Heydar Aliyev returned from Moscow in the summer of 1990 and became the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, a new and special stage began in the process of Azerbaijan's liberation. The Heydar Aliyev-led autonomous republic was in the forefront of Azer- baijan's move towards sovereignty. It was in Nakhchivan that the referendum was'held to continue the boycott of the USSR and it was also Nakhchivan which first accepted the current tricolor as the state flag of the Azerbaijan Republic. All Russian (Soviet) troops were withdrawn from the autonomous republic which

Trans- ferred to the national stage, it was successful repetition of Heydar Aliyev's brilliant policies which had succeeded so well in Nakhchivan enabling the entire nation to survive. The Armenian threat to I i ts very existence - to answer in the rousing affirmative the question whether post-Soviet Azerbaijan is to be or nut to be a successful independent state. This was the first and irreducible goal demanded by Heydar Aliyev upon his return to power in 1993. On July 15m of the same year, the return to national leadership of this wise, experienced, and

all this, it was mast important to prcrvide socio-political stability in the country, without which even Weydar Aliyev could not have restored the ruined economy, attracted foreign investmnt, and h i J t a public manageanent system.

gradually expanding intervention of Armenia. As a result of urgent activities carried out by the national leader, Azerbaijan began the creation and training of highly disciplined armed forces capable of defending the national interests and territories of Azerbaijan. Simultaneously Heydar Aliyev employed a wide range of political and diplomatic means in order to achieve the ceasefire, still held today.

As a result, the aggression of the Armenian military forces, backed by some foreign resources, was stopped. As a result of strong Azerbaijani counter- attacks, the enemy had to enter into negotiations and a ceasefire was signed in May 1994.

One of the main strategic directions of Heydar Aliyev's activity was the creation and implementation of an economic policy for introducing a

As the Contract of the Century with the world's leading oil companies was signed on September 20th, 1994, Heydar Aliyev did not only lay the basis of the new oil strategy, but also defined the future of the economic development of ~ ierbai jan. By doing so, Heydar Aliyev attracted favourable international attention to the South Caucasus region and started the process of Azerbaijan's integration into the international economic system.

However, the signing of the Contract of the century did not simply happen. Taking into account the newly signed ceasefire treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the strained relations with some neighboring states, disputes on legal status of the Caspian See the internal social and political inactivity, and the increasing foreign pressure upon Azerbaijan, most observers thought that it would be impossible to sign this contract. However, Heydar Aliyev regarded this as a matter of not only an economic, but also of strategic policy, and demonstrated his strong determination, will, and wisdom again.

The implementation of the Contract of the Century brought its first results rapidly. The first oil from this project was produced by the end of 1997. The Azeri, Chirag, and Guneshli offshore projects will produce 50 million tons of oil annually after their full-scale development com- mences. Approximately billions USD in investments have already been made into the implementation of the Contract of the Century and thousands of new jobs have been created in Azerbaijan.

The implementation of Heydar Aliyev's new oil strategy is epitomized by the construction of the main export oil pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan. The problems, obstracles and pressures complica- ting the project and many engineering political and financial problems which hindered construction of the pipeline are well-known.

One more important project - the Baku-Tbilisi- Erzerum pipeline will be used to deliver Azerbaijani natural gas to Europe.

President llham Aliyev provided a brief descri~tion of the importance of the new oil strategy of Azerbaijan to our country: "There is no doubt that we could not have achieved all this, if it hadn't been for the foresight and courage of Heydar Aliyev in 1994. It is even hard to imagine which state Azerbaijan would be found in, if we had not begun these works with foreign companies".

The economic policy followed under the leadership of Heydar Aliyev paved the way for the long-term development of Azerbaijan's economy.

Active involvement in regional integration processes formed a part of Heydar Aliyev's economic development concept. Azerbaijan's location at the intersection of transportation routes connecting the East and West, North and South, increased its importance not only in regional, but also international projects in the context of ongoing globalization processes. The establishment of the GUUAM organization; initiated by Heydar Aliyev, was the first step towards the unification of political and economic interests of several countries. Azerbaijan is one of the initiators and active participants in the TRACECA - Great Silk Way project, which

constitutional state must be established in Azerbaijan. The state of Azerbaijan must follow the principles of democracy, derive benefits from its historical traditions, and effectively utilize the world's democratic and human values on i t s way to the establishment of a democratic country".

It was necessary to adopt democratic laws to achieve this purpose. The ~onit i tution formed the basis of these laws, Such a foundation was laid by the Constitution of independent Azerbaijan, which was developed by Heydar Aliyev and adopted by national referendum on November 12th, 1995. The Commission for Legislative Reforms was established at a later stage to conduct the reforms aimed at the establishment of a constitutional state. This commission, chaired directly by the President, played an important role in the formation, strengthening, and development of a new, more democratic legislative base, formation of a new court system, maintenance of law enforcement authorities, and the integration of the legislative system of Azerbaijan into the European legislative system. These far- sighted policies have enabled the realistion of political, economic, social, and legislative reforms and the implementation of important steps toward the strengthening of democratic values throughout society for the purpose of the establishment of'a constitutional state. A democratic, free, fair, and transparent electoral system was established in Azerbaijan and the appropriate environent

national interests and with Heydar Aliyev's f ar-sig hted political perspectives. The exceptional importance that Heydar Aliyev attached to foreign political issues, his successful and courageous steps which garnered international support , and the effective and competent utilization of the highest international tribunals for the sake of the national interest, were all extremely important for Azerbaijan, currently and for its future.

As a result of his active diplomacy, Azerbaijan produced positive changes in the attitudes of the world's democratic states and the leading international organizations toward our country and the conflict it was forced into by Armenia. Heydar Aliyev based his foreign policy on the principles of peace, international legal norms, inviolability of frontiers, respect for the territorial integrity of states and mutual cooperation. Azerbaijan's foreign partners openly agree that Heydar Aliyev's foreign policy concept is the best one for Azerbaijan and well-conceived to advance the country into the emerging global pattern of development.

The resolution o f the Armenian- Azerbaijani conflict in Daghlig Garabagh (Nagorny Karabakh) occupied a special place in the foreign policy o f Heydar Aliyev. After the ceasefire had been established, he focused his attention on informigg the international community about the troubles that Azerbaijan was subjected to as a result of the military aggression from Armenia, and on finding a peaceful solution to this

conflict. These issues were in the focus of Heydar Aliyev's meetings with state and governmental leaders in both Azerbaijan and abroad, as well as during the meetings held at the UN, the Council

I of Europe, OSCE, NATO, Islamic Conference Organization and other international and regional organizatons. Unfortunately Armenia's aggressive and nsn-construdive piositi~n, as well as the policy of double standards, which is still often encountered around the wr ld, have presented agreement to a solution 1 to this conflict, which remains the greatest obstacle to long-term peace, security and progress in South Caucasus.

President llham Aliyev vigorously pursues this very wise course. Many countries around the world and international organizations, including the Council of Europe, have already recognized Armenia as an aggressor and the Daghlig Garahgh (Nagorny Karabakh) regime as a separatist, and expressed their support f ~r the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The international community is paying increasingly close attention to this issue and we are confident that Azerbaijan will one day win its fair case and will have its territorial integrity restored.

Social scientists are particularly emphasizing Azcrbaijanisrn as an ideology as they talk in terms of Heydar Aliyev's activities for the sake of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijanism rejuvenates the country's historical experience of harmony in national life and relations between various confessions, ancient

This ideology serves to strengthen and develop Azerbaijan as a unitary, constitutional and democratic state. The ideology of Azerbaijanism unites the socio-cultural and ethno-political aspects of independent Azerbaijan's philosophical and sociological doctrine. Heydar Aliyev ideology is based on the idea of the history, of the nation of Azerbaijan and i ts moral, spiritual and cultural traditions. It will serve not only the present generation, but many generations to come, while the indepen-dence and national equality which Azerbaijanism propounds will trans-form into a constituent attribute of life and liberty for future generations.

Azerbaijani diasporas in foreign countries continued to bring results with time. This task was overseen by the State Committee for Work with Azerbaijanis Residing Abroad, which was established under a special decree of Heydar Aliyev. One of the most important activities of this effort was the holding of the I Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Baku in November 2001. There the national leader particularly emphasized the importance of Azerbaijan's state strategy of Azerbaijanism: "The key idea of independent Azerbaijan is Azerbai- janism. Each and every Azerbaijani must be proud of his national belonging and we must immortalize Azerbaijanism, which is the Azerbaijani language, culture, national moral values and traditions".

It was due to Heydar Aliyev's vision and efforts that Azerbaijan occupied its proper place in the international community and conveyed the truth about Azerbaijan to the world. It was not until Heydar Aliyev regained political power that Azerbaijan managed to realize its geo-social potential and prevent the isolation of the country from the international community. Heydar Aliyev was a unique political figure in the history of the Azerbaijani people. He took the responsibility for the people's future destiny and demonstrated the ability of accepting the actual challenges of the global world.

figures as well other people of various specializations, talked about him with great admiration. Therefore, Heydar Aliyev was called Azerbaijan's charisma and those who compared him with George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Ataturk, Charles De Gaulle, Conrad Adenaure were not mistaken considering him a giant of politics: the patriarch of world policy and the master of political chessboard. As he was, indeed, a great person.

Although Heydar Aliyev did a lot of unparalleled work for Azerbaijan, our people and the whole region, it is still dif - ficult for us to perceive the magnificence of it. The reason for it, perhaps is that we were the contemporaries of this genius and all the great things he did seem casual to us. That is why we must agree with people saing: "The Azerbaijan people will feel Heydar Aliyev's greatness more deeply after this", "Real value of services of Heydar Aliyev before people will be given by future generation".

Heydar Aliyev's granite monument stands in the Honorary Alley which is located in the upper part of Baku. It has become a place of national pilgrimage. When looking at this monument, it seems our national leader Heydar ~ l i ~ e v ' s proud gaze is fixed on the bright future that he left as a legacy for us.

taining its international authority were the important corner stones of the national state system strategy, as developed by Heydar Aliyev. There are major successes with the new oil strategy, which is directly connected with the name of the phenomenal personality of Heydar Aliyev, the development of other spheres of economy, and ongoing large-size reforms envisioned by the transition to a market economy.

Another major objective for the establishment of the Foundation was to support and contribute to international economic projects that serve for the implementation of the leader's dreams and intentions.

The development of the sciences, education, culture, public health, and sports also played an important role in the manifold activities of Heydar Aliyev. The Foundation in turn provides comprehensive support toward the implementation of projects in these spheres, and

New school construction projects with capacity of 100, 200 and 240 pupils have been presented within the implementation of the said program, and the cooperation appeal made to the society shows the possibility of serious joint actions in this field. It should be noted in particular that large scale construction of schools across the country became possible only due to the joint cooperation made by engaged stakeholders on the basis of the initiative launched by the Foundation.

Successful completion of the first stage resulted in commissioning 132 new school premises in the territory of the country. A large part of these schools located in regions and villages have been equipped with sport facilities, contemporary equipment, heating systems, vast libraries as well as visual means and computers.

This first successful stage completion enabled the second stage of "A new school for a new Azerbaijan" Program launched by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
