Outstanding Azerbaijani poet and philosopher Nizami Ganjavi is a nationwide scientist. The celebration of his 870 years anniversary is the call for intercultural dialogue. UNESCO feels honor to take in this ceremony.
Nizami Ganjavi's literary activities popularize the richness of humanity, change the stream of history by means of knowledge and intelligence and calls for just and harmonic society. No doubt that literal heritage of Nizami has a great importance for the people of Azerbaijan, Central Asia and in other countries. The humanist call for "Fill my soul with love" gives us inspiration. This call is reflected in establishment conception of UNESCO. From this point of view, I praise the measures taken by the Azerbaijani, government as well as Ganja authorities.
