Congratulation address by the Azerbaijan President Heydar Aliyev to orthodox Christians of the republic on the occasion of an Easter holiday - Baku, April 25, 1997


Dear compatriots!

I cordially congratulate you - all orthodox Christians of our republic with an Easter holiday and convey my most sincere wishes to you

Religious plays important role in spiritual purification and renewal of people and in existence of moral values, principles of friendship and humanism in society. Together with the other faiths, the Russian Orthodox Church, acting in our country, participates in the work of implementation of benevolent aims, preserving law and order and civil solidarity in the independent democratic Azerbaijan. I am sure that irrespective of language, religion and ethnic origin, all citizens of our republic will carry out their filial duty decently before our native land Azerbaijan in the future as well and will work for the sake of prosperity and progress, constant existence of our state independence.

On this dear holiday day, I wish all of you good mood, family happiness and sumptuous life.
