An event dedicated to the memory of the architect and founder of the modern independent Azerbaijani state, world-famous political figure, and National Leader of our people, Heydar Aliyev, was held at the Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU).

The event organized at the AzTU Heydar Aliyev Center commemorated the memory of the Great Leader with a minute of silence. The National Anthem of Azerbaijan was played.

Speaking at the event, AzTU Rector Vilayat Valiyev, Member of the Milli Majlis, Doctor of Historical Sciences Vasif Gafarov spoke about the services of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev to the Azerbaijani people, his great mission of salvation, and the important reforms he implemented in all areas of the country.

It was noted that in the early 90s of the last century, National Leader Heydar Aliyev, who returned to power at the insistent demand of the people, saved the country from the threat of destruction. Today's independent Azerbaijan is the work of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev.

It was also emphasized that Heydar Aliyev's far-sighted policy ensured the perpetuity of independence in Azerbaijan, strengthened statehood, and protected national and cultural heritage.

Today, his political line is successfully continued by the President of Azerbaijan, the Victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ilham Aliyev.
