Knowledge Day was celebrated for the students of Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) and Turkiye-Azerbaijan University (TAU). At the event organized at AzTU, first, flowers were placed in front of the bust of the great leader Heydar Aliyev in the lobby of the university.

Later, the dear memory of the sons of the Motherland, who died for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our lands, was commemorated with a minute's silence. The national anthems of Azerbaijan and Turkey were played.

Greeting the students, Rector of AzTU Vilayat Valiyev wished them success in their studies and activities. He said that it is a proud event that AzTU and TAU students celebrate this year's Knowledge Day together. Rector thanked the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan- Ilham Aliyev and President of Turkiye- Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the establishment of Turkiye-Azerbaijan University.
