The Azerbaijani people have gifted many brilliant personalities, poets, and thinkers to world culture.
“Elchi” reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated this during his meeting with participants of international conferences in Baku.
The head of state listed some of their names and noted: “Listing their names shows how rich our people and our land are in talent – Nizami Ganjavi and Khagani Shirvani in the 12th century, Imadaddin Nasimi in the 14th century, Yahya Bakuvi in the 15th century, Shah Ismail Khatai and Muhammad Fuzuli in the 16th century. In other words, each of them is a great world in themselves.”
