“This event we are holding today is a strong reflection of the ‘two states, one nation’ understanding in the scientific field. The deep-rooted bonds of brotherhood between Türkiye and Azerbaijan make themselves felt in every field today, as they have throughout history, and are further strengthened by concrete collaborations in the world of education and science. This valuable academic cooperation established between our university and Baku State University is also an indicator of our shared culture and strong belief in a common future. The fact that young researchers from different countries and cities meet at our University and make presentations will play an important role in carrying this strong bond into the future.”
