Interdisciplinary Study of the Cultural Heritage of Azerbaidjan
In 2018, our Chair initiated a large-scale international project, aimed at interdisciplinary study of the cultural heritage of Azerbaidjan, including religious monuments and sacred sites of this ancient country, acting in close cooperation with the Caucasus History Centre, led by a prominent local scientist, Dr. R.Huseynov, as well the Central Scientific Library of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaidjan. An international working group was created, comprising keynote scientists from Azerbaidjan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Ukraine, and Turkey. In April 2018, the Group gathered in Baku, Azerbaidjan, in order to launch the project as a whole, and to define its major outline and perspectives, in line with the lofty ideals of UNESCO, and its cultural strategy.
