Deputy Minister of Science and Education Firudin Gurbanov emphasized in his speech that the mother tongue is of particular importance in terms of statehood, national identity and cultural security. He said that as a result of globalization, the rapid development of information technologies, artificial intelligence and the influence of mass communication media, national languages ​​are facing new challenges. According to the Deputy Minister, the forgetting of the native language and its excessive loading with borrowed words cannot fail to affect national consciousness and national identity.

She also drew attention to the role of historical toponyms and dialectisms in the preservation of national memory.

Other participants who spoke at the opening ceremony exchanged views on the historical development of the Azerbaijani language, language policy in the context of modern challenges, the preservation of the mother tongue in the era of digitalization, the speech culture of young people and increasing their commitment to the language.

The speeches emphasized the importance of the consistent state policy implemented under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, towards the preservation, development and promotion of the mother tongue at the international level. It was noted that the targeted measures implemented in this direction make a significant contribution to the preservation of the purity of the Azerbaijani language, compliance with its norms and rules, as well as strengthening its position in the digital environment.
