Authorities of that time led by the Azerbaijan Popular Front and Musavat Party invited Heydar Aliyev to Baku to find a way out from the situation. Heydar Aliyev returned to Baku on June 9 and immediately left for Ganja to negotiate with Surat Huseynov. On June 15, Heydar Aliyev was elected the chairman of Azerbaijani parliament. As a result of popular vote, the peoples showed distrust to President Abulfaz Elchibey and Heydar Aliyev was elected the president of the country. In a short time, Heydar Aliyev put down a revolt and reached ceasefire with Armenia. June 15 is celebrated as a National Salvation Day by the parliament’s decision adopted in 1997.
