Ramil Huseyn, Deputy Executive Director of the Center, noted that the development path defined by the National Leader continues to shape the main directions of public governance today.
Agil Asadov, Head of Department at CAERC, emphasized that Heydar Aliyev’s statehood philosophy played a decisive role in strengthening the country’s independence and laid a solid foundation for the launch of economic diversification and institutional modernization processes. The historical significance of his leadership and the enduring relevance of his ideas were highlighted by the event participants.
Speakers highly appreciated Heydar Aliyev’s exemplary leadership in shaping the country’s political, social, and economic development strategy.
It was noted that the long-term development strategy defined by the National Leader is being successfully continued today by President Ilham Aliyev.
