state to compatriots living abroad.
Recalling the recommendations by President Ilham Aliyev at the
5th congress of the World Azerbaijanis about expanding the work
aimed at opening Azerbaijani houses and Sunday schools in foreign
countries, saying that the native language should become the main
factor uniting compatriots, he expressed confidence that the House
of Azerbaijan in Helsinki would successfully operate in this
direction.
He noted that exactly after the president's recommendations at
the congress, the number of Azerbaijani Houses and Sunday Schools
in various countries of the world saw a noticeable increase.
“With the opening of the House of Azerbaijan in Finland, where
thousands of Azerbaijanis live, the number of similar centers
functioning in various countries of the world has reached 19,” he
added.
Moreover, speaking at the event, Finish Ambassador Kirsti
Narinen and Counsellor of the Azerbaijani embassy in Sweden and
Finland Javanshir Mammadov called the event an important step in
terms of developing friendly relations and cooperation between the
two countries.
“I think the opening of the House of Azerbaijan in Helsinki is
important from the standpoint of the development of relations in
many spheres,” Kirsti Narinen said.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established
on March 24, 1992.
