Executive Director of the Foundation Elchin Babayev spoke about the exceptional role of Heydar Aliyev’s epoch in the new history of Azerbaijan.

July 14, 1969 is one of remarkable days in the life of the Azerbaijani people. On that day, Heydar Aliyev was elected the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. As a leader, he was notable with his businesslike diligence, dedication, adherence to his principles. He faced the task of substantially reforming the economy of the country, changing it to an industrial country with the modern technology, making Baku more beautiful, reviving the Azerbaijani countryside and improving social, cultural conditions and education of people.

When Heydar Aliyev was the first secretary, these issues were successfully realized due to his administrative abilities in 1969-1982. Due to his purposeful activity, Azerbaijan became one of the developed countries of the former Soviet Union. New industrial enterprises, higher schools, museums, theatres, libraries opened in Baku, Sumgayit, Nakhchivan and other places. Reconstruction of existing oil machinery plants and refineries, and also chemical enterprises started. Baku air conditioner plant, Baku champagne producing plant, refrigerator producing plant, electronic calculator plant, Sumgayit compressor plant, Ganja "Bullur" (Crystal) plant are the examples of that period.
