Vugar Aliyev: AZERTAC and Baku State University maintain close cooperation
Baku, January 22, AZERTAC
“The Baku State University (BSU) is the oldest and most prestigious higher educational institution training specialists useful to society across many areas, including journalists. Founded in 1919, the BSU has been serving our society, science, and the development of the national education for more than a century. As the alma mater of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, this institution continues its mission to cultivate the nation’s intelligentsia, imparting modern knowledge and professional standards to thousands of young people today. The University's Faculty of Journalism plays an important role in training professional journalists in Azerbaijan,” said Vugar Aliyev, Chairman of the Board of the Azerbaijan State News Agency (AZERTAC), at the opening ceremony of a special auditorium of AZERTAC at the BSU.
“I would like to especially emphasize two key historic dates: the establishment of the BSU in 1919, and the founding of AZERTAC in 1920. This year, our university will celebrate its 107th anniversary, while AZERTAC will mark its 106th anniversary.
I am pleased to emphasize that AZERTAC and the BSU maintain close cooperation, which creates ample opportunities for the professional training of young personnel. In particular, the internship programs organized at AZERTAC for students of the Faculty of Journalism provide them with the opportunity to profoundly master modern media standards. Students who successfully complete the internship program and show excellent results are employed at the Agency,” AZERTAC Chairman of the Board underlined.
Vugar Aliyev mentioned that the opening of a special auditorium of the Agency at the Faculty of Journalism would be very useful for the society, as well as for BSU and AZERTAC. “Various meetings, classes, and training will be held in this auditorium, which will make AZERTAC more accessible to students of the university’s Faculty of Journalism,” he added.
