12 july, 2017

On July 12, the rector of the Azerbaijan University of Languages (AUL), the active member of ANAS Kamal Abdulla met with the Austrian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Azerbaijan Axel Vex.

Welcoming the guest, the rector said he was glad to see him at the university. "I hope you will strengthen ties between your country and our university. We are ready to do our best in this direction, "said Abdulla, speaking about the Austrian Library and the Austrian Center at AUL." I would like to give a new impetus to the activities of these centers ". K.Abdulla added that the promotion of Austrian culture and history here is needed more than this country: "We would like to promote our culture, language and history in one of the Austrian universities".

The Rector expressed confidence that the interest in Azerbaijan in the Austrian academic circles will increase gradually. According to him, in many Western countries there is such a misunderstanding that if Turkish language is learned, Azerbaijani language cannot be studied separately, but we want the independent study of Azerbaijani language, literature and culture: "In addition, Azerbaijan has its experience in multiculturalism in Austria and we can learn an Austrian experience. "The main purpose of your request is to help us establish a center in any of the Austrian universities. We are ready to provide the material and intellectual support to create that center. Love should be mutual. If we promote the Austrian culture here, it gives us the right to propagandize our culture in Austria. "

In turn, Ambassador A.Vex highly appreciated the activities of the AUL Library and the Austrian Center. He said the University of Vienna would be suitable for the opening of the Azerbaijani Language and Culture Center. "I think that the University of Vienna will be interested in this issue. And we, in turn, will do an effort in this. "

At the end of the meeting, the rector K.Abdulla invited A.Vex to read a lecture at the "Ambassador's Time" club at AUL and presented him the book "Literary and Artistic Resources of Azerbaijani Multiculturalism".
