Dear children, dear parents and dear teachers.

I cordially congratulate you on the New Year. I am very happy for sharing New Year joy with you this year too. I see smile and joy on the face of children. I wish you always to smile, to be happy.

New Year differs from all other holidays. This is the most favorite holiday to kids. And to me. Usually people celebrate New Year with natives, family members. Today I am very happy for sharing this festivity with you, with children who are native to me.

Coming today to this palace, the head of our state, President Ilham Aliyev assigned me to give you his congratulations, greetings and love.

Today, all circumstances have been created for you in Azerbaijan. I hope you will study well, receive a nice upbringing, grow up healthy and always make your parents happy with your successes.

These days children all over the world celebrate New Year holiday. Being Heydar Aliyev Foundation we also tried to change this holiday into a real celebration for you. This is why we so marvelously decorated this grand palace and invited you here. I hope you are satisfied from this party. I want to congratulate you twice. New Year holiday has another characteristic. Usually people, both adults and children make a wish in the New Year night. I wish all your dreams to come true in the New Year. I once again sincerely congratulate you all, wish you health, success and happiness. Thank you.
