The national leader Heydar Aliyev, along with other art spheres, also paid great attention to the development of Azerbaijani composer school and music. Contemporary and topical issues of music, as well as the problems, ideas and suggestions of composers and performers have always been of great interest for the national leader. He did not deny his assistance for the people who connect their life to this area and took care of their activities. The person who has the ability to listen to music, feel it intuitively, hear, and have the ability to carry his thoughts directly into the music is very happy. Exactly such talented people Mammad Nasirbeyov, one of the first musicians of Nakhchivan who got composer education, Nariman Mammadov, who successfully graduated from the Composer Department of the Azerbaijan State Conservatory named after Uzeyir Hajibeyli, Ramiz Mirishli put the first stage of professional composer art in Nakhchivan.

She shared her thoughts on handcrafts with us. She said that she had a desire for decorative-applied art from her childhood, and she was engaged in sewing, weaving and other types of art from her early age. She said: "In my childhood, my grandmother and my neighbors weaved carpets at our home. These processes, which happened in front of me, have been of interest to me in the course of time. When my grandmother saw that I was really interested in these things, she talked about carpet weaving, and sometimes she said, "My girl, come and weave a bit, can you do that?" Naturally, I did not know it very well, and I knotted wrongly. Later I became interested in other types of decorative-applied art. My excessive enthusiasm revealed the idea of preparing something with waste. And I also have enough information about people who create art from waste. It was not easy to master this job.
