Preserving the Azerbaijani language as a national duty
“Preserving the purity of the Azerbaijani language should be the duty of every Azerbaijani citizen,” President Aliyev said.
The head of state called on all segments of society- from scientists and writers to journalists and politicians, to safeguard the linguistic heritage of the nation.
He emphasised that the Azerbaijani language, spoken by more than 50 million people worldwide, is ancient and rich enough to meet all modern needs without excessive borrowing from foreign languages.
Return of Azerbaijanis to present-day Armenia poses no threat
President Ilham Aliyev stated that the return of Azerbaijanis to their historical lands within present-day Armenia should not be a cause for concern among the Armenian people or their government.
“Azerbaijanis have never fallen victim to the disease of separatism,” President Aliyev said. “Our people have contributed to the statehood of the countries they live in, and today, in no country do Azerbaijanis create or will create problems for any state or any other people.”
