182-page illustrated magazine contains articles and photos reflecting President Ilham Aliyevâ€™s childhood, youth, studentship years and political activity. Elmira Akhundova shares her thoughts about the Presidentâ€™s parents â€“ outstanding political figure Heydar Aliyev and Academician Zarifa Aliyeva in her article â€œHeydar and Zarifa Aliyevsâ€.

The article containing the photos of modern Baku causes great interest. The article reads that new, light and happy Baku is created by the famous architects of the world.

The congratulations of the Presidentâ€™s family, close relatives, well-known politicians, business representatives and art figures, as well as the citizens from various regions of Azerbaijan were published in the magazine.

In her letter of congratulation, editor-in-chief of â€œBakuâ€ magazine Leyla Aliyeva conveyed her wishes: â€œI would like to say on behalf of myself: I am very happy to have such father, may be, everybody is good for themselves, everybody has positive qualities, successes, contributions. But you have most dignified, best and noble featuresâ€.

President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, UNESCO and ISESCO Goodwill Ambassador, MP Mehriban Aliyeva characterized President Aliyev as the most dignified, honest and sincere person: â€œWe have been together for about 30 years. We have had many bright, happy, unforgettable days and events together. But we have also faced difficulties and problems, losses and deep sadness. Sometimes we were making plans calmly without hurrying, sometimes it was a high time to pass to the decisive and urgent act. I am sure that many things will occur in our life. As Ilham said, the main issue is to maintain the noble and to be honest and sincere. Ilham is such person. â€

Presidentâ€™s daughter Arzu Aliyeva says she always needs her fatherâ€™s advice.
â€œYou take care of all in our family, concern yourself with our wishes and is always ready to support us. Your advice is very important for me, I am happy to feel your love. Your relations with my mother will always remain as an example for me. Though you are married for years, your mutual love and respect are strengthening day by day. I also want to have such a family built on friendship and love. Father, I wish you to be healthy and to smile often. You are shouldering a heavy burden, I want you to often take a rest. I want all your wishes come true, wish Azerbaijan to be mightier and more beautiful.â€

Presidentâ€™s son Heydar Aliyev says he loves his father.
â€œDear father, I congratulate you on your birthday. I wish you success in your activities. I want you to be healthy, young and strong. I will do my best to delight you. My wish is to take after you when I grow up. I congratulate you,â€ he said.
