Recalling national leader Heydar Aliyev`s care for artists, including the orchestra headed by him, People’s Artist Rauf Abdullayev said:

- National leader Heydar Aliyev had always supported us, and stood by us. Each time we gathered after concerts he would enquire about how things are going. We would tell him our wishes and he would solve all of them. That was a great care for us.

As his worthy successor, you have always respected our artists, cultural workers, awarded them with honorary titles and orders. We all feel your care. That is why I wish you and Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva robust health, happiness and success in your activities.
