They talked about the importance of educating young people in a national-patriotic spirit in the informational struggle with Armenian radical nationalism, which was completely defeated in the military field, and its patrons.
The dean of the Faculty of Economics of the Turkic World, Professor Mehmet Yüce, stated that Azerbaijan is the flagship of the Turkic world in many parameters, but in order to ensure its stability and development dynamism, he made concrete proposals in several areas: in the economic field, in local self-government, and in the legal field.
At the end of the interesting discussion, Mansur Barkhudarov spoke about the need to take advantage of the Japanese model as an idea that defines the future horizons of Azerbaijan, taking into account the local characteristics: that is, paying attention to education and science on a special, conceptual basis for the formation of a technological and intellectual society, in parallel, on the one hand, national and moral values. Turkism, on the other hand, has been inculcated into the society based on multiculturalism, and as “Developed, tolerant Azerbaijan” has brought attention to its rightful place among the progressive states of the world. M. Barkhudarov, who spoke about the importance of developing this approach in separate fields, by developing its systematic elements, highly appreciated the concept put forward by F. Mammadov in this matter. At the end, all participants of the event were thanked for coming to UNEC and sharing their valuable opinions, and the importance of holding meetings in this direction was emphasized.
