"June 15, which entered the history of independent Azerbaijan as the Day of National Salvation, is not just a calendar holiday, but a day of great social, political and historical significance."

MP, member of the board of the New Azerbaijan Party Hikmet Babaoglu told APA.

Hikmet Babaoglu said that the return of great statesman Heydar Aliyev to power on June 15, 1993 was the beginning of a new stage in the centuries-old history of our nation's statehood: “Because his return to power and finally, as a necessary condition for the critical realities created by the civil war, it emerged as a common national order.

In a very short period of time, the great leader Heydar Aliyev managed to create the unshakable foundations of national statehood, to make the independence of Azerbaijan eternal and irreversible.

The return of Heydar Aliyev to power paved the way for the salvation of our people, Azerbaijan became a strong state, free from the threat of disintegration and civil war.

However, June 15 is not limited to rescuing the country from chaos and anarchy, thwarting the intentions of foreign and domestic enemies to divide Azerbaijan and destroy our independent state.

This historic day is also characterized by Azerbaijan's accession to the world community, its recognition by the world powers and its worthy place in the international arena.

He noted that the steps taken to build a secular, legal state, which has been a priority of the political line in Azerbaijan since 1993, have laid the foundation for the establishment of the basic principles of democracy, human rights and freedoms. , Is possible due to the hard work and fruitful activity of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

At present, under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan is making great strides, and these achievements are a guarantee of security and prosperity for every citizen.

Achieving the current development and stability in a very complex region could be possible only by drawing an objective lesson from the events of June 4 and correctly assessing its consequences, which Azerbaijan was able to do.

As a result, our homeland, which had been under Armenian occupation for almost 30 years, was liberated from occupation.

Azerbaijan has become the strongest state in the South Caucasus, its place and role in the system of international relations has increased.

At present, very fruitful prospects have been created for our further historical development.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that if June 15 were not the Day of National Salvation, we would not have the historical achievements and victories we have achieved today. "
