Today, the Azerbaijani people celebrate National Salvation Day. 33 years ago, the country was in crisis, facing the threat of disintegration.
According to Oxu.Az, this is discussed in a video released on "Caliber's" YouTube channel.
Seeing the hopeless situation, citizens demanded Heydar Aliyev's leadership. He came from Nakhchivan to Baku and was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet. In the fall of 1993, he became president.
"From that moment, Azerbaijan's history changed: from decline to development, towards strengthening statehood," the video notes.
