Rector of the University, academician, people's writer Kamal Abdulla congratulated the attendees on this historic day. The rector spoke about the history of the Revival Day, which is one of the glorious pages of our modern history, and noted that the first sparks of our current victory were started with the liberation movement of 1988: "Although our country has faced many difficulties in the early period of independence, the revival began in Azerbaijan after the return of national leader Heydar Aliyev at the insistence of the people.

Despite the strict prohibitions of Soviet ideology, Heydar Aliyev attached special importance to national and moral values and the revival of Azerbaijani science and culture. Growth and development began to be observed in all areas. The day we have been waiting for so long has finally come. Azerbaijan has entered the period of rebirth. Precisely today, on November 17, after many centuries, National Revival Day, the sovereignty and independence of our country have been restored. The people shared their joy in the squares and proclaimed it to the world.

The whole world witnessed the rebirth of the Azerbaijani nation. And years later, the nation which had made its first unsure steps, finally said its word as a victorious nation in the war under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, who, thanks to his farsighted policy and courage, successfully continued the ideas of the Great Leader. I congratulate each of you on National Renaissance Day!"
