The Heydar Aliyev Center hosted an event dedicated to the National Salvation Day June 15 organized by the Youth Foundation under the President of Azerbaijan.

The event was attended by Assistant of the Azerbaijani First Vice-President, Head of the Department of Youth Policy and Sport Issues at the Presidential Administration Yusuf Mammadaliyev, Minister of Youth and Sports Azad Rahimov, Executive Director of the Youth Foundation Farhad Hajiyev, Deputy Head of the Department for Social and Political Affairs at the Presidential Administration Tahir Suleymanov, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Youth and Sports Fuad Muradov, representatives of youth organizations and other guests, AzerNews reported.

Mammadaliyev, for his part, said the great leader Heydar Aliyev, who came to power at the will of people in 1993, during the most difficult period for the Azerbaijani state, always attached importance to the education of youth in the spirit of patriotism in order to provide the younger generation with modern knowledge. Creation of favorable conditions for the youth was one of the main priorities of the state policy, according to him.

Mammadaliyev emphasized that today the great leader’s care for the youth is worthily continued by President Ilham Aliyev. He said creation of the Department of Youth Policy and Sport Issues in the Presidential Administration is indicative of the president’s attention and care to the youth. “We, the youth, will justify this trust by being united. Our goal is to see the Azerbaijani youth healthy, patriotic, and committed to national values,” he said.

He added that the Azerbaijani youth should always be ready to liberate the occupied Azerbaijani lands. “War should be conducted not only on the front line, but also in the media, on social media, and on Wikipedia.” Mammadaliyev further stressed that a glorious page opened in the history of Azerbaijan after the return of great leader Heydar Aliyev to power.

“Over the past 25 years, Azerbaijan has been successfully developing in all fields, becoming a leading state in the region. The youth also plays an important role in the development of Azerbaijan,” he noted. Mammadaliyev pointed out that this is the youth, who will achieve success thanks to the policy pursued by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva.
