On April 15, 2021, Khazar University’s Literary-Philosophical Assembly “Literary Travelers of Khazar” held an online round table with teachers and students of Lankaran Vocational High School on “Mammad Amin Rasulzadeh and his work, Azerbaijani Poet Nizami.”

Gardashkhan Azizkhanli, a lecturer at Khazar University’s Department of Languages and Literature, noted that the book “Azerbaijani Poet Nizami” proved that Nizami was an Azerbaijani poet. The author of the study said that in the period of the poet and in those circumstances, the language was not important in terms of expressing national identity.

Rais Rasulzadeh, the grandson of the great statesman, spoke about the struggle of M.A.Rasulzadeh for an independent Azerbaijan and the glorious life of his grandfather. He also

mentioned that this research played an invaluable role in introducing Ramil Ahmad Nizami, who studied the period of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, as an Azerbaijani poet.

Doctor of Philosophy in Philology, Associate Professor Khatira Yusifova said that she wrote an essay on this work when she was a student, and that the promotion of such research works is as useful as they are.

Speaking about the literary-critical perspectives of M.A.Rasulzadeh and the teaching of the work “Azerbaijani Poet Nizami,” Associate Professor Dilbar Zeynalova, Head of the Language and Literature Department at Khazar University, delivered his poem “Feelings of May” (Mayıs Duyğuları) to the participants with a unique intonation.

Director of Lankaran Vocational High School Afar Karimov spoke on the topic and said that the state and public figure of Azerbaijan M.A.Rasulzadeh had strong management skills that will never be forgotten in terms of using management models. Sevda Agayeva and Etibar Nehmatli, teachers of the Vocational High School, spoke about the importance of studying the legacy of M.A.Rasulzadeh by the youth.

Presentations of students of the Faculty of Economics and Management Shahin Aliyev, Elvin Mammadsalahov and Tayfun Mirzayev, speeches by the students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering Shafa Yusifova and Neyjan Sultanova on the work “Azerbaijani poet Nizami” were met with great interest.

At the end of the meeting, a proposal was made to translate this unique work, which is a great contribution to the Nizami studies, into English.
