Built upon the conviction that global, planetary thinking is formed
precisely on the foundation of national values, every new work you

selfless service to your homeland and your people.
We always recall with great satisfaction your dynamic activism

at every turn you supported Azerbaijan’s just cause with all your
heart, and that you view our Victory as a historic achievement for
the entire Turkic world, gives us immense spiritual strength.
Your contribution to strengthening solidarity among the Turkic
peoples and expanding mutual humanitarian ties is undeniable. Your
enduring relationship with our country stands for us as a true
benchmark of friendship and brotherhood.
I am confident that the legacy you have created will continue to
