PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN DECREES ON MARKING JUBILEE OF THE ULUKHNALI SCHOOL IN IRAVAN PROVINCE
President of Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev issued a Decree on celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Ulukhanli School in Iravan Province. Founded in 1881, the School, as noted, has played important role in spread of enlightenment ideas in the Iravan Province, which, then mainly populated by Azerbaijanians. Later, the School has become an advanced center of education and culture, developing on rich national traditions.
Though as a result of geo-political developments, the city of Iravan and other historical Azerbaijan lands entered the Armenian state, the School of Ukukhanli through a century has continued its work in preservation of Azerbaijan language and culture, its national-spiritual values.
Only the policy of ethnic cleanse pursued by Armenian militants against Azerbaijanians connected to Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict, put an end to School’s activity.
The appropriate republican departments are tasked to prepare and implement the plan of actions on the 125th anniversary of the School.
