History is the reality which determines positions and fate of everyone in life. For this reason, the roles are neither great nor little. Everyone may write the books of their own lives in accordance with their personal responsibilities and their perception levels regarding these responsibilities. In this book; a flow, where everyone has built a constitutive or destructive role on their own personal lives and entirely in the world, exists.

Some time ago, during her visit to London together with the Esteemed President of Azerbaijan, Mr. llham Aliyev; some western press organs have compared her with the First Ladies of France and the United Kingdom, and they have reached the opinion that Mehriban Aliyeva is more outstanding than these First Ladies.

Moreover, Mehriban Aliyeva is also a mother who has raised three excellent children.

We always heard positive words about the First Lady of Azerbaijan from the worldwide famous politicians who have made conversations with her and persons, who have negotiated with her and perform activities in social and cultural fields. We witnessed that almost all completed their statements with these expressions: "Azerbaijan is a very lucky country!" This is an undeniable reality.
When a famous frontwoman of one of the television channels of Turkey said "My First Lady" while she was talking about Mehriban Aliyeva at her programme; I was very proud of that.
