The Vice-Rector emphasized that during the leadership of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, significant successes were achieved in the economic, cultural and scientific fields, and special attention was paid to the development of young people. Moreover, he assessed the fact that young people currently occupy a worthy place in the international scientific world as the result of the successful continuation of the visionary policy of the Great Leader by President Ilham Aliyev.
