Our parents laid the foundation for modern relations between our peoples, although, as I said, Chechens and Azerbaijanis have always lived in friendship and understanding for centuries, supporting each other.
elchi reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said this during a meeting with the head of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation, Ramzan Kadyrov.
He further added: “But our great leaders played a key role in bringing our peoples even closer in the modern stage of development. The commemoration of the memories of Akhmad Haji Kadyrov in Chechnya and Heydar Aliyev in Azerbaijan, as well as the adherence of our peoples to their traditions and way of life, and their respect for those who laid the foundation for modern development, demonstrate this.
I congratulate you once again. Based on my observations, what I have seen, and the reports made to me, I know how rapidly the Chechen Republic is developing under your leadership. This sincerely pleases us. You have achieved great success in strengthening stability and security, and in economic and social development.”
