In connection with anniversary of the date of death of the national
leader of Azerbaijan people, politician of world scale Heydar Aliyev,
with whose name are connected many historical events of the recent
past, the vice-speaker of the State Duma of Federal Assembly of the
Russian Federation Sergey Baburin has expressed deep condolences to
the Azerbaijan people.
Speaking to correspondent of AzerTAj, Sergey Baburin has told:
"I am grateful to destiny that it has brought me face to face with
Heydar Aliyev during the period when he was the President of the
Azerbaijan Republic. Our meetings in Baku and Moscow, discussion of
the problems connected to situation on the Caucasus, in the world,
situation with the Nagorny Karabakh conflict, have left a trace in my
memory, I have remembered him as the person, not simply living long
and interesting life, but also as one of the wisest politicians of XX
century. I could be familiar with many heads of the states of the world
- presidents, prime ministers … But I can tell unequivocally that from
all my familiar, including the Russian politicians, the wiser person,
than Heydar Aliyev, I did not meet. It was the person who really knew
problems of people and really understood what is necessary to do for
their solution. Responses about him of his colleagues and those who
have faced him were similar, and they even more convinced me of the
opinion that Heydar Aliyev, is, indeed, one of the most significant
political figures in XX century.
In spite of the fact that we were people of different generation and
age, we had close stand in the attitude to life, to values of life,
such as human dignity, civic position, respect for will of people
and its interests. We met both in Russia and in Azerbaijan, and he
was always very affable and benevolent, hospitable, when I came
to Baku. We could with him frankly, and even at times, arguing,
discuss problems.
Certainly, all are grateful to him that there was normal attitude to
the Russian and Russian-speaking inhabitants of Azerbaijan, many of
which due to this have returned to Azerbaijan, to their Motherland.
And it is very important for strengthening these relations and
henceforth. I hope, that the course for brotherhood of Azerbaijan
and Russia which has been announced by Heydar Aliyev, will remain
constant and further. The wisdom shown by Heydar Aliyev, should be
kept after he has physically left us".
