Video describing Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyevâ€™s activity was demonstrated at the presentation ceremony. Head of the Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev said to write book about great figures requires great courage.

â€œThe major and distinguishing feature of the book written by Graham Wilson is that alongside with the description of Presidentâ€™s image as a national leader, it contains objective analysis of the political processes that happened in Azerbaijan and beyond during his presidency. Another significant feature of the book is that it coincides with the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijanâ€™s independence. I do not doubt that this short historical period has left rich marks in the memories of the Azerbaijani people,â€ he said.

â€œSuch substantial work written by a foreign author and that thoroughly describes the historical events has not been published yet. The first impression makes us to say that the book was realized as a result of authorâ€™s deep scientific researches, unbiased analysis and great interest to Azerbaijan. This is an admission of the author, who has perception of historical realitiesâ€, Ramiz Mehdiyev said.

He said the book was based on deep analyses. â€œThe leaders, who are able to build and strengthen the state, to secure national unity and to protect the stateâ€™s place and position on the worldâ€™s map, make the state and people powerful. All of these issues are based on the leaderâ€™s personal character, belief and experience. This is undeniable fact. Azerbaijani people were convinced in it many times in its historical fateâ€.

The head of the Presidential Administration said that a new period started in Azerbaijan. â€œThe changing world needs in new type of leaders. The leaderâ€™s capital is the confidence of the people. The main reason of the current concussions in some countries is that they had no leaders meeting the demands of the time. All of these processes make it topical to form generation of new-type leaders, who are able to find way out from the socio-political commotions, to be sensitive to innovations and to solve tense contradictionsâ€.

The event is continuing.
