June 15 is celebrated as National Salvation Day of Azerbaijanis. In the summer of 1993, there was a threat of civil war in our country. On such a difficult day for the motherland, people invited Heydar Aliyev, prominent son of Azerbaijan from Nakhchivan, to Baku. Heydar Aliyev accepted the invitation of the people and the ruling circles of the republic and came to Baku on June 9. Heydar Aliyev managed to prevent a civil war in Azerbaijan in a very short time. On June 15, 1993, Heydar Aliyev was elected the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Thus, June 15 entered our history as National Liberation Day. Milli Majlis declared this day a holiday in June 1997. Happy National Salvation Day!
