An article by Alirza Balayev, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Khazar Review Journal, entitled “Apostrophe or some Reminders for those who eliminated the apostrophe” (“Apostrof, yaxud apostrofu ləğv edənlər üçün bəzi xatırlatmalar”) has been published in the “Nazar noqtesi” column of the “Azerbaijan” Journal (No. 3-4, 2020), official periodical of the Azerbaijan Writers' Union.

The article brings to the attention of the literary community the serious arguments of misunderstandings that emerged with the abolition of the apostrophe in the Azerbaijani language, especially in the writing and reading of religious and classical literature.

The author proposes to add a new article to the “Spelling Norms of the Azerbaijani Language”: “Apostrophe to be used in religious and classical literature”.
