On June 14, the event dedicated to the National Salvation Day was held at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies. Opening the event academician Irada Huseynova said that today is one of the days that are of great importance in the fate of our people, the National Salvation Day. 15 June 1993 entered the Azerbaijan history as the National Salvation Day and our statehood was saved from the threat of disappearance.  This glorious history page created by a person who played an exceptional role in the development, independence, future of Azerbaijan, who always leaned on the people and behind the people – Heydar Aliyev. After the independence of Azerbaijan in October 1991, the aggression of Armenia aggravated the situation in the republic. Only one person could help the country, which was experiencing a severe crisis in all areas. Desperate and helpless, the people invited their prominent political leader, Heydar Aliyev from the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic to Baku.

Being elected as the Chairman of the Azerbaijani Supreme Soviet on June 15, 1993, Heydar Aliyev was welcomed by Azerbaijani people with hope and joy. The country was saved only by his greatness, braveness, and devotion at a time when the state was on the brink of collapse. The comeback of Azerbaijani President and the great leader of the nation Heydar Aliyev prevented a civil war which was flaring up in the country. Thus, June 15 came down in history as Day of National Salvation. From that moment the country's rampant development on the economic and political plan started. This holiday gained its official status in 1997 and from 1998 it became a national holiday.

  Then the correspondent member of ANAS Ibrahim Azizov, the deputy director on scientific affairs Alamdar Mammadov and the young researcher Konul Tagiyeva shared their memories.
