February 2 is Azerbaijan Youth Day.
This holiday, which has been in the calendar of significant days of Azerbaijan for 26 years, was given to our youth by Heydar Aliyev, the national leader, the founder of the modern state of Azerbaijan. Thanks to the state youth policy, which was founded by the great leader and continued by President Ilham Aliyev, young generations with a spiritual and patriotic spirit are growing up in Azerbaijan.
The 44-days Patriotic War, engraved in our history with a glorious Victory, demonstrated the patriotism, sacrifice, and heroism of Azerbaijani youth to the whole world. We can proudly note that there are young people who have worked in the field of culture among those who gave this Victory to our people at the cost of their lives. We once again remember our heroes who died for the homeland with deep respect. Dozens of our young veterans of the Patriotic War are working with us in the Ministry for Culture system today.
Azerbaijan’s youth, including our young people working in the fields of culture and art and showing creative activity, are surrounded by the attention and care of the state. Programs are implemented to reveal and encourage their knowledge and skills, talented young people are awarded Presidential scholarships and awards. Conditions are created for young people to have a high level of artistic education, to participate in international festivals and competitions, and their inquiries come from prestigious art venues of the world. Today, young people have a special place in all spheres of the country’s life, including the spheres of culture and art. Professional, responsible, patriotic young people are the future of our country.
On behalf of the staff of the Ministry for Culture, we sincerely congratulate our young colleagues and on their behalf all the youth of Azerbaijan on this significant day, we wish everyone good health, happiness, new success in their professional activities, creativity, and all their practical work aimed at serving the state and the people.
