On November 8, Ordubad Region Culture House hosted the event titled “Nakhchivan is a land of monuments” for the youth under the subordination of the Culture and Tourism Department of Ordubad Region.
At the event, Kenan Taghizadeh, advisor on the creative youth of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic made a speech on the topic “National Leader Heydar Aliyev and Youth Policy” and said that a reliable basis for the development of Azerbaijani youth was created in the 70s of the XX century. As a result of efforts of national leader Heydar Aliyev, consistent and purposeful measures have been taken to meet the living, educational and cultural needs of the youth. It is enough to mention that every year hundreds of young people were sent to study at the leading universities of the USSR and returned as highly qualified specialists and contributed to the country’s development. At that time, the necessary infrastructure was created in each settlement to ensure the effective organization of leisure time of young people, and the necessary material and technical basis was created to ensure their comprehensive development. At the same time, various measures were undertaken to stimulate youth activism in public-political life.
The state youth policy defined by the great leader Heydar Aliyev is successfully continued by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr. Ilham Aliyev. Today, reforms in the field of education in our country constitute one of the most important directions of youth policy.
Today, ensuring the social protection and employment of youth, stimulating creative search, upbringing in national spirit, strengthening military-patriotic upbringing, promotion of healthy lifestyle are in focus of the attention in the autonomous republic.
