Then, Academician-Secretary of ANAS Division of Humanitarian Sciences, academician Teymur Karimli delivered a scientific report on “Ideology of Azerbaijanism in the works of Samad Vurgun”.

Academician said that, one of the leading ideological trends in the poetry of Samad Vurgun, which is a logical continuation of national national literary thought, drawing its content directly from the ethno-cultural potential of folklore thinking and characterized by deep lyricism and a system of human values, is Azerbaijanism. The scientist noted that the ideology of Azerbaijanism in the works of the classic was of exceptional importance during the Soviet period not only in terms of protecting national and moral values, but also functionally in terms of preserving the ideas of national statehood.
