BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. The Azerbaijani
people have given many brilliant personalities, poets, and thinkers
to world culture, President Ilham Aliyev said during his meeting with the participants of international
conferences in Baku.
Listing some of them, the head of state noted: “Simply listing
their names demonstrates 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, and Shah Ismail Khatai and Muhammad Fuzuli in the 16th
century. In other words, each of them represents a vast
universe.”
