Your historical service is that all these years, despite all the difficulties, pressures, sometimes groundless and unfair opinions, you have not for a moment lost your faith, hope and will. The fulfillment of a great mission to ensure the territorial integrity of our country was also possible thanks to your unbreakable will.
I know that you have always believed in your people and this faith, along with all your personal qualities, is the source and guarantee of all the victories you have achieved and the victories that lie ahead.
My most sincere thanks to you!
On the day of your birth anniversary, allow me to wish you and the entire Azerbaijani people a long life, the best of health and fulfillment of all your desires.
Your path to success is continuing and much remains to be done for the sake of our Motherland.
May God give you strength and patience! May the Almighty God protect you and the people of Azerbaijan on this sacred path!
