Our colleague participated in the International Symposium in Turkey

On the 4th-6th of November the conference “Yavuz Sultan Selim and his period Symposium” was held by the Turkish Historical Institution under the Ataturk High School of Culture, Language and History hosted by Istanbul University. Leading researcher of the department of Folklore and written literature of ANAS Institute of Folklore, PhD in philology, associate professor Aynur Ibrahimova made a report on the theme “The artistic image of Sultan Selim Yavuz in Azerbaijan Soviet literature: relations of Sultan Selim and Shah Ismail”. In her speech our colleague said that today Azerbaijan and Turkey were building a Turkish Union together with other Turkic republics of Central Asia. If the Turkish Kenesh, the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic States, “TURKSOY” organizations are established and serious work is carried out in these structures to form common Turkic history and common Turkish literature, it means that different world views, different system of ideological and political views will be eliminated and different attitude will be formed to Shah Ismail, Sultan Selim and Chaldiran war.
