PROTECTION OF HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AS THE BASIS OF HAYDER ALIYEV'S AZERBAIJAN IDEOLOGY

Among the leading qualities that value Heydar Aliyev as a personality, statesman and leader, nationality and attachment to national roots have always been at the forefront. He has demonstrated that he is a national leader to the deepest layers of his heart during all the times he led Azerbaijan. Restoring the national values of our people established throughout history, raising the national culture of Azerbaijan was one of the aspects that determined Heydar Aliyev's leadership style. Both in 1969-1982 and in 1993-2003, the main reason for achieving successful results in the field of archaeological research in Azerbaijan was the result of Heydar Aliyev's political will, great organizational talent and the high value he gave to the material and cultural values of the people. Heydar Aliyev, who has a rich and deep historical and philosophical knowledge, paid great attention to the research and promotion of material and cultural monuments belonging to our people, and in general, to cleaning all pages of history from distortions. The valuable opinions and proposals put forward by Heydar Aliyev regarding the ancient history of our nation are always accepted by archaeologists as a program of future activities, and work is constantly being carried out in this direction.
