“This year is of particular importance in terms of deepening an important stage in the legal and political history of our country, further strengthening the foundations of our national statehood. This topic is directly related to the daily life of each of us, our relations with the state, and the foundations we lay for future generations. Defending our Constitution and strengthening our sovereignty is the duty of every citizen. We must keep these principles alive not only as history, but also in our daily lives, and progress our legal culture. We must work together to leave a stronger, fairer and freer Azerbaijan as a legacy for future generations,” he said.

Make a speech at the event, MPs Aydin Huseynov and Soltan Mammadov noted that throughout history, our people have fought for the right to self-determination, to live freely, and to protect their national identity and rights. It was noted that sovereignty is not just the existence of state attributes, nevertheless the right of the people to freely and independently determine their own future. It was noted that in the contemporary history of Azerbaijan, this concept entered a new stage with the restoration of our independence in 1991. However, for this sovereignty to be fully realized, a long and difficult path still had to be covered. Ensuring our territorial integrity and liberating Karabakh from occupation were the most important turning points on this path. The reforms carried out under the leadership of our Honorable President, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, improving the legal system and strengthening civil society are significant steps taken in this direction.

The speakers also brought to the attention of the event participants the special services of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, who led the republic both during the Soviet era and during the years of independence and dedicated his life to his people, in the creation of the Constitution of Azerbaijan.

On 20 September, 2023, local anti-terrorist measures put the final point in the process of fully restoring our territorial integrity and sovereignty,” it was noted.
