Mammad Babayev: "The Nakhchivan youth have done their best to get the title of "Youth Capital".
Today, in the autonomous republic, effective measures for the youth to use their potential, their social protection, stimulation of creative search, strengthening of military-patriotic education and promotion of healthy lifestyle, adoption of the state program on development of youth creative potential in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, establishment of the "Golden Book" of the young talent and Youth Foundation in autonomous republic by the Decree of the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic dated March 29, 2012 have enabled the recognition of the Nakhchivan as the land of youth. Today, this title has been officialized directly by youth.
At the same time, the active participation of youth in the socio-economic, socio-cultural life of the autonomous republic, the effective organization of their leisure time and the development of intellectual potential were the main factors that led the Nakhchivan to be the Youth Capital of Azerbaijan for 2018.
The Nakhchivan youth actively participated in this project, which was held with internet voting, and did their best for getting the title of "Youth Capital".
Presence of the centers for youth in Nakhchivan, Olympic Sports Complexes, green playgrounds, swimming centers, infrastructure for holding international and national sports competitions and other cultural and mass events make sure that Nakhchivan deserves the title of Youth Capital of Azerbaijan and it will successfully host the events in this direction during this year.
Ulvi Huseynli: "Nakhchivan is a developing modern city where proper youth army was formed".
Nakhchivan is the cradle of humanity: the history begins from Nakhchivan.
Nakhchivan is the center of civilizations: culture is formed in Nakhchivan. Nakhchivan is the homeland of our great leader Heydar Aliyev: Our flag was taken to the eternal top and it was laid the foundation of our STATEHOOD and INDEPENDENCE, our most valuable keepsake to our future and our youth, in Nakhchivan.
Today, Nakhchivan is a developing modern city, where proper youth army was formed, based on ancient history, rich culture, millennial statehood experience. Today, Nakhchivan is the YOUTH CAPITAL.
Mr. Vasif Talibov, the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic approaches the youth as our secure future, and takes care of this area. These conditions create opportunities for young people to grow up healthy, study, get a profession and become a precious citizen. Today we are proud that our young are the SOLDIERS who shield themselves against the enemy; healing DOCTORS; SCIENTISTS; DIPLOMATS, representing their state with honor; ENGINIEERS who construct buildings and build roads in our towns and villages, WRITERS, who are able to say their ideas with pencil, JOURNALISTS; PARENTS who grow up healthy children, especially CITIZENS who are abided to the ideas of our great leader Heydar Aliyev and choose their life as a future way of independent Azerbaijan...
Anar Ibrahimov: "It wouldn't be wrong to say not only Nakhchivan and its youth but also the whole Azerbaijani youth won this election"
The ancient city of the East - our native Nakhchivan was already chosen as the youth capital of Azerbaijan in 2018. Hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani youth have chosen Nakhchivan, voted for the capital of the autonomous republic, its history and development, and so they get a chance to be acquainted with the integral part of Azerbaijan.
Naturally, all these voices, choices, sound competition, all of them is a means, the real purpose is to introduce our country and appreciate every corner of it as the capital, to convey the achievements of independent Azerbaijan in the regions to the whole world. For this reason it wouldn't be wrong to say not only Nakhchivan and its youth but also the whole Azerbaijani youth won this election.
Sahil Tahirli: "Nakhchivan is not only the Capital of Islamic Culture, the Youth Capital of Azerbaijan, but also our Hearts!"
Nakhchivan, which is part of our hearts, deserves all titles.
Because Nakhchivan, small on territory, but large on morality, is the motherland of Noah, the cradle of humanity, the holy land where civilization first created. This ancient land, which has a great role in the history of Azerbaijan's statehood and has historically become an important part of public-political process, is also called the San Francisco of the Caucasus today.
Our native land continues to amaze everyone with the latest 25 years of development, flourishing, socio-economic achievements, the most up-to-date rural and urban infrastructure, cleanliness, renovation, trees and shrubs in spite of blockade.
The modern Nakhchivan, which has become an exemplary land over the past 20 years under the leadership of Mr. Vasif Talibov, the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, is a confirmation of the practical work of the national leader Heydar Aliyev. With great attention and care of the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis, who considers education, army building and youth work as a priority in his political and state activities, today young people are integrated into all aspects of society's life. I think the election of Nakhchivan as "Youth Capital" of our country in 2018 is completely logical. Because Nakhchivan is not only the sun of the ancient East, but also the safest, flourishing, calm and prosperous city of the modern world.
Azad Jabbarov: The selection of Nakhchivan as the Youth Capital of the country is of great importance.
State youth policy, founded by national leader Heydar Aliyev, continues successfully beyond the capital.
The work done in this field in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is the most obvious example. Thanks to the attention and care of the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, work with young people in Nakhchivan is at the highest level, based on today's demands. Thus, for the purpose of youth development in our Autonomous Republic, an infrastructure that meets the most up-to-date requirements has been created.
At present, the Olympic Sports Complex, Chess Center, "Youth Centers", an exhibition hall are operating in Nakhchivan. The measures to form and develop Nakhchivan youth in the spirit of national values, patriotism are continuing in 2018. The results and achievements in recent years prove that the young of autonomous republic have great opportunities in the field of intellectual and creative activity. From this point of view, the election of Nakhchivan city as the country's Youth Capital is of great importance. This status creates new opportunities for young people in terms of introducing Nakhchivan, the gate of the ancient East, demonstrating the tourism potential of the autonomous republic that has modern urbanization culture and architectural style.
