Afandiyev as well.
The Institute of Education also joined the book campaign,
presenting some 5,263 copies of 300 books.
The embassy of Kazakhstan handed over books on science, culture,
history as well as anthologies of Kazakh proses and poetry.
Among these books are the works of Kazakh writers published by
the Kazakh embassy and translated into Azerbaijani, including 'The
Kazakh Khanate: origins, traditions and heritage', a collection of
scientific articles 'Alash Orda', the Kazakh folk-heroic epic
'Koblandy Batir', 'The Creativity of Mukhtar Auezov: From tradition
to innovation' by N. Mammadova-Tagisoy, 'The Day the World
Collapsed' by Rollan Seisenbaev and others.
The head of the ministry Department for Book Circulation and
Work recalled that the organizing committee of the book fair will
present awards in the nominations 'Best publishing house' and 'Best
book'.
The publisher, which provides the release of the best book,
dedicated to Shusha, in terms of content and polygraphy, will be
awarded a Commemorative Badge, established on the occasion of the
270th anniversary of Shusha.
