Azerbaijan's ruling party is developing an action plan in connection with the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of state independence.
"Azerbaijan's ruling party will mark the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of the country's state independence in an appropriate manner. In this regard, an appropriate action plan is being developed," New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Deputy Chairman, Executive Secretary Ali Ahmedov told Trend today.
According to him, the NAP Executive Secretariat, and all the local party structures, including youth, will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of Azerbaijan's state independence in an appropriate manner.
Leitmotif of the events timed to this date will be Azerbaijan's achievements over these 20 years, Ahmedov said.
He said that so short a period in the Azerbaijani history is marked by great victories, thanks to national leader Heydar Aliyev's successful policy, continued by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
"The preservation of state independence increasing Azerbaijan's economic potential and strengthening the position in the international community, including from the point of view of the country's importance in ensuring energy security of Europe, and even the world, is evidence of the fact that the Azerbaijani Republic passed a majestic path during 20 years," Ahmedov said.
Each Azerbaijani citizen should remember that Heydar Aliyev's policy is the origin of all this, Ahmedov said.
On Jan. 21, Azerbaijani president signed a decree "On the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of Azerbaijan's state independence". The decree envisages conducting a solemn ceremony on state level in this regard.
"A constitutional act "On the State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan" was adopted at the session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Oct. 18, 1991. By this act Azerbaijan stated that it is successor of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and declared its state independence and sovereignty to the international community. This day went down in history as the day of the restoration of Azerbaijan's state independence.
