At the same time, in the 1990s, a new idea was put forward that the works written during the Soviet period were not sufficient for literature. They saw this in the elevation of other people as prototypes to the image of positive heroes and inflating them as historical figures. Thus, they emphasized that the mistakes made during the communist ideology were repeated in the literature of this period in a different form. Heydar Aliyev completely rejected these gross errors and such views in literature, and advised writers not to separate them from the time, era, and environment when evaluating personalities and to write them as they are. Despite the difficulties in developing the newly created state, he took great care of celebrating the anniversaries of prominent figures of our culture, literature, and art in our country and paid great attention to the development of all areas of Azerbaijani literature and culture. Indeed, the caring attitude towards our folklore and national-spiritual wealth, which was an integral part and one of the main directions of the policy pursued by Heydar Aliyev, is commendable. The care and attention shown by the national leader Heydar Aliyev to our folklore both during the Soviet period and during the period of independence resulted in decisions and orders issued by the party and the government. During 1969-73, 15decisions and orders were signed to protect our cultural heritage. The decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev dated August 4, 2003 on the application of the Law of the page7 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue05,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai Republic of Azerbaijan “On the Legal Protection of Examples of Azerbaijani Folklore” is evidence ofthecontinuation ofthis tradition. The wise and far-sighted policy of Heydar Aliyev in the 1970s to strengthen the national spirit, patriotism, and the ideas of Azerbaijaniness also resulted in noticeable changes in the field of folklore. He mobilized the Azerbaijani intelligentsia, and the entire people in general, for future strategic goals and prepared them for the struggle for freedom. Heydar Aliyev said in his report at the plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan on March 20, 1970: “... Sometimes the press, radio and television workers are unable to adequately cover important issues related to the spiritual life of the people[1]. Such speeches dedicated to the national-spiritual values ​ ​ of the Azerbaijani people on television, radio and the press were the occasion for the emergence of programs and articles in the literary environment of that period. At the same time, the great support given by the Great Leader to folklore led to the inclusion of many materials related to folk art in the newspapers “Literature and Art”, “Azerbaijani Youth”, “Gobustan”, “Ulduz”, “Azerbaijan” magazines. In the collection, protection and promotion of the national-spiritual values ​ ​ of the people, programs such as “Ozan”, “Bulag” aroused great interest among the audience and played an important role in the development of folklore. Thus, the widespread expansion of folklore publications in the 70s-80s, the holding of the ashug congress in 1984 after a 20-year break The organization of the “Aşıg Parı” assembly, the “Khari bulbul” music festival, and the holding of a series of folkloric events called “Let’s return to Koroğlu” are also among the main development programs. By the decision of the Presidium of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences in 1981, an action plan was developed to establish folklore work at the level of special requirements, which was one of the main directions of the development of Azerbaijani folklore. The preparation of such events and programs led to an even greater increase in interes
