We are honoured to share our recent experience at an inspiring youth forum in Hungary, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the National Leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev.

The Ambassador elaborated on the historical role of Heydar Aliyev in restoring Azerbaijan's statehood and emphasized the importance of Turkic unity. He also highlighted the successful implementation of the national strategy founded by Heydar Aliyev under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, which led to the great victory achieved in the 44-day Patriotic War.
Farid Jafarov, the Executive Director of the Youth Foundation of the Republic of Azerbaijan, addressed the importance of Youth Day and the attention and care shown to young people by National Leader Heydar Aliyev. He informed the participants about the activities of the institution he represents and its collaboration with youth organizations from other Turkic states.
The event also featured speeches from Javanshir Feyziyev, MP of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and Turkologist Maria Keneshi, who shared their insights on the irreplaceable role of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev in Azerbaijan's history and the unity of Turkic-speaking peoples.

"Development and special attention to youth have always been one of the most paramount directions and components of the state youth policy in Azerbaijan, founded and determined by the national leader Heydar Aliyev and successfully continued by President Ilham Aliyev."
Ramil Shukurov went on to add that the young generation is the driving force of society. He highlighted the necessity of ensuring more active participation of young people in the socio-economic, scientific, cultural, educational, and other fields to guarantee further progress and prosperity for Azerbaijan.
The forum concluded with a captivating short documentary film about the National Leader and a vibrant video presentation showcasing our activities and future plans at AYID.
