We saw that interactive lessons are being conducted by the means of electronic boards installed at these schools. The conditions of schools in Nakhchivan are compared with schools of Baku.

- The purpose of my visit to Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic was to become closely acquainted with this region and this acquaintance impressed me a lot. During this period we visited educational, cultural, healthcare institutions and museums of the autonomous republic.

The director of Ataturk Research Center, Mehmet Ali Reyhan ; - As we know, the International Scientific Symposium held is called “Central Aras Basin against history and culture background” Nakhchivan is located in the center of the geographical region that we call Central Aras. Nakhchivan is a passage point of the Great Silk Road both to Anatolia and Asia. From this point of view, Nakhchivan is a historical region and it is advisable to hold such an international event namely here. When it comes to symposium, I can say that the event was perfect. The scientists from Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences and its Nakhchivan department, from a number of Universities of Azerbaijan and Turkey took part here. During the lectures, interesting thoughts were stated and discussed about the history, geography, ethnography and literature. The evaluations about the results of scientific results were very interesting for everybody. When it comes to my impressions about Nakhchivan, I can say that every city has a sourcing history. And the history of Nakhchivan is as ancient as the history of mankind. Since there is no concrete information about the creation of Nakhchivan in any source dealt with Nakhchivan . So it means that there has been dwelling in Nakhchivan since the humans existed on the Earth. The geographical position of Nakhchivan is suitable for this, as well. As the history of mankind began from Mesopotamia and Aras basins.
