Dear compatriots, sisters and brothers!
It is gratifying that today, every Azerbaijani, who carries the symbol of the land of fire in their hearts and is ignited by the heat of this fire, has gathered at the Baez Castle to commemorate the great Babek, who sacrificed himself for the sake of his homeland. We are proud. We are proud that the name of the great Babek has been illuminated precisely in the pages of Azerbaijani history. We are proud that now every Azerbaijani knows Babek. He is inspired by his power. They are determined to continue his path. Today we have become a living witness to this. We are glad that there are many of our young people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the freedom and well-being of our people. This is truly commendable. But we must advance our struggle not with weapons, but with words and pens. We do not agree to the shedding of anyone’s blood on this path. We will move forward peacefully and will definitely win on this path. Because our path is the path of truth and justice.
Unfortunately, there are many people among us who mislead our passionate youth, confuse them, and tarnish this path with their hostile actions. But we should not allow such people to use the madness of our youth to pursue their own principles. We must show the youth the right path, invite them to act with patience and honesty. We must dissuade them from dangerous actions. This is our most important issue. We must earn our rights only by being patient. Let us not forget the words of our fathers. It says: … “the advantage of the brave over the brave lies in his patience”..
Dear citizens! Know that where there is truth, there is justice.
We once again congratulate our sons and daughters on the occasion of the birth of Babak. May truth be on our path
May God be with us!.. Amen!
