Lukashenka kisses Heydar Aliyev’s order presented by Azerbaijan’s leader


The awarding ceremony took place on November 28, during president Lukashenka’s visit to Baku.

Heydar Aliyev always respected worthy people who keep their word and on whom one can rely. I think it is symbolic today that in Azerbaijan his friend is being given the order which is the most significant award of the Azerbaijani state,” said the incumbent president Ilham Aliyev, the son of the late Azerbaijan ruler Heydar Aliyev.

“Ilkham Heydarovich, thank you for our friendship. Believe me, I treasure it. I will do my best!” Lukashenka said and kissed the award.

Heydar Aliyev was the third president of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003, then his son Ilkham Aliyev succeeded him. From 1969 to 1982, Aliyev was also the leader of Soviet Azerbaijan.

In November the Turkish media outlet Posta published a photo of the Belarusian president kissing the Quran in the course of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan‘s opening a mosque in Minsk. Taking into account that he is a kafir under Islamic canons, the situation might have charitably been described as unusual. Although once Alyaksandr Lukashenka called himself an ‘Orthodox atheist’, he attends church services on central celebration says of the Orthodox church.
