Heydar Aliyev was a close friend of the Uzbek people

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Alley of Honor in Baku and paid tribute to the memory of the National Leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev.

Heydar Aliyev went down in history as an outstanding politician and statesman, the founder of independent Azerbaijan. Thanks to his determination, strong political will and exceptional leadership qualities, the fraternal country adequately overcame difficult trials.

Heydar Aliyev was a close friend of the Uzbek people. He visited Uzbekistan several times, made a great contribution to strengthening historical ties and cooperation between our fraternal countries.

The memory of the politician is immortalized in our country. The Azerbaijan Cultural Center named after Heydar Aliyev operates in Tashkent. Last year, during the visit of President Ilham Aliyev to Uzbekistan, a street and square named after Heydar Aliyev were opened in our capital.

All this is a vivid embodiment of the strong friendship between our fraternal peoples.

The head of our state laid flowers at the graves of Heydar Aliyev and his wife Zarifa Aliyeva.
