Ilham Aliyev was inaugurated as president of Azerbaijan for the fourth time. The inauguration ceremony took place in the parliament. The re-elected president swore an oath by laying his hand on the republic's constitution. He promised to serve the people of Azerbaijan with dignity. The story of the Mir TV tells about Azerbaijan's achievements over the 15 years, during which the republic has been led by Ilham Aliyev.
Ilham Aliyev doesn't talk much in public. People say about such people: the man of action. Over the past five years, the country has created more than 700 thousand additional jobs, including in the non-oil sector, which is important. Now every fourth citizen of the republic is engaged in agriculture. There is enough sun and heat to reap the harvest twice a year. 70% of vegetables and fruits are sent to Russia. "Baku tomatoes are better than others because we do not use chemicals during cultivation. We have bees to pollinate plants. This is a 100% organic product," the deputy director of the greenhouse complex Rasif Alekperov said. For now, our tomatoes are not more expensive than oil.
People joke in the Land of Fire that Nobel Prize would have not existed without Azerbaijan. The first wells were drilled by the Nobel brothers here in the 19th century. They made their first million there. Now there are 10,000 oil wells in the country.
The republic honors traditions and generously encourages talented fellow countrymen. The best projects are sponsored and overseen by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. Its vice-president, the eldest daughter of the current president, Leyla Aliyeva, says: "I really like it when we hold international forums and events, because many tourists come here."
Now it does not take long to explain foreigners what kind of country is on the western coast of the Caspian Sea. Every year more than 2 million tourists come here, and this is despite the fact that there are only 10 million people living in the country.
Under Ilham Aliyev's presidency Baku became one of the main cities of Formula-1. Even the city's central streets were allocated for the race. Ilham Aliyev pays great attention to sports and even runs the National Olympic Committee.
His second term was devoted to improving the quality of education. One billion dollars was allocated to build 1200 schools and rewrite all textbooks in accordance with world standards.

"At the current elections, the Azerbaijani people voted for stability, development, progress and independent policy. We are an independent, strong country. We follow the path that we have chosen. I am confident that this path will lead Azerbaijan to a happier future," Ilham Aliyev said after the elections.
They were elected not just president, but the leader of the nation. That's what Ilham Aliyev is called in Azerbaijan. He is only 56, he is one of the youngest leaders in the CIS, but no less experienced - 15 years in power. There are seven more ahead.
