June 15, 1993 entered our history the National Salvation Day and this day is valuable for our people. In difficult times, Azerbaijan’s outstanding son Heydar Aliyev accepted the persistent invitation of the people and came to Baku on June 9. Aliev was elected Chairman of the National Assembly of Azerbaijan on June 15 and in October he was elected President. From that moment the country’s rampant development on the economic and political plane started. This holiday acquired its official status in 1997 and from 1998 it became a national holiday.
Azerbaijan Weightlifting Federation congratulates our people on the occasion of Salvation Day and wishes great success to our state as a result of successful domestic and foreign policy pursued by President Ilham Aliyev, the successor of Heydar Aliyev’s ideas!
Happy holiday!
