Today, significant projects are being implemented to ensure solidarity and unity among the countries which are the bearers of Islamic culture connecting many nations, covering a vast geography. Announcing this year “Year of Islamic Solidarity” in the Republic of Azerbaijan, initiated by these initiatives, having an important historical significance, has been welcomed as an initiative aimed at forming this solidarity. In a few months our country will continue its leadership on this issue in a foremost stage in the example of ancient Nakhchivan. Historically, our ancient land, which is one of the main centers of Islamic civilization, playing an important role in the spread of Islam and at the same time the emergence of Muslim Renaissance, will carry out another important historical mission of that year - Nakhchivan will be the capital of Islamic culture, Nakhchivan will become a cultural supporter of Islamic world, with a strong potential in the global arena for one year.

Each of these points attracts attention both individually and generally, as a whole, and in fact complements each other. This is the miracle of Nakhchivan: the chain of causes creates miraculous synergy and turn home of geniuses into the center of Islamic culture. Although it is not so easy to list them, it is possible to clarify some issues by paying attention to historical processes in chronological sequence. The important points that leading Nakhchivan to the capital of Islamic culture are, in our opinion, the following:

The Nakhchivan State Carpet Museum is one of the places to preserve and promote our old and rich cultural examples. We have recently visited the museum and got acquainted with the carpet and folk applied art examples, the bearer of the national culture of the Azerbaijani people.

The guide Saadat Valiyeva gave detailed information about the museum. She noted that the Nakhchivan State Carpet Museum has been operating since April 1998. There are over 3,000 exhibits in the museum. More than 300 exhibits are exhibited in the exposition of the museum today. These include, first of all, carpets, carpet making tools, tools and household utensils used by people in ancient times for weaving. The carpet samples of the XVIII-XIX centuries belonging to Tabriz-Nakhchivan, Ganja-Gazakh, Guba, Shirvan, Garabagh carpet-weaving schools are also kept in the museum. Nakhchivan carpets were weaved in most settlements of our ancient land.

The carpet, which is dedicated to national leader Heydar Aliyev weaved by the “Azer-Ilma” carpet workshop in Baku in 2006, attracts attention in the museum. According to the technique of weaving, carpets are divided into two groups- piled and unpiled carpets. Unpiled carpets are weaved by simple methods such as winding, padding, knotting. Patterns on unpiled carpets are relatively simple compared to piled carpets and are easier to work with. The piled carpets are weaved by a more complicated method. In this case, the complicated noose, gulabi noose and complex form of winding noose are used. The patterns on it are more complicated than other carpets. The Azerbaijani carpets are famous for their pile all over the world.
