Dear Ilham Heydarovich, we wholeheartedly congratulate you, a prominent political figure of our time, on the occasion of your birthday, and wish you robust health, family happiness and success in your honorable duty.

Mr. President, like world Azerbaijanis, Georgian Azerbaijanis are also proud of the fact that being a skilful political figure you are resolutely realizing historic decisions of the founder and architect of modern Azerbaijani state Heydar Aliyev aimed at ensuring the power and a bright future of our native Azerbaijan, including the promotion of ideas of Azerbaijanism, preservation and development of national and moral values, perception of national identity and implementation of transnational projects.
