“For the first time, a group of American students will arrive in Baku, in summer 2009 to learn Azerbaijani language at the Azerbaijan University of Languages (AUL)”, US Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Ms Goli Ameri told her joint press-conference with AUL rector Samad Seyidov.

Ms. Ameri said it is part of the plan initiated by US President George W. Bush to enhance the foreign language skills of American students. For today, American citizens actively learn Farsi, Korean, Turkish, Indian and other languages. She highly valued the decree of Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev on Azerbaijani youth’s education abroad.

Mr. Seyidov emphasized that memorandum of understanding signed between the US Department of State and Azerbaijan’s Education Ministry will play an important role in approaching Azerbaijan and American Universities.
