An article titled "Istanbul – 3" by Assoc. Prof. Orkhan Valiyev, Head of the Department of Political Science and Philosophy at Khazar University, was published on Füyuzat.az on May 1, 2026.

In the article, against the backdrop of a visit to Istanbul, the author analyzes the historical and academic role of Galatasaray University, emphasizing that the institution was shaped by the tradition of statehood dating back to the Ottoman era and the French model of education. He notes that this educational system, established on the basis of Galatasaray High School, preserves an alternative (French) academic mode of thinking in Türkiye and serves the training of elite cadres for diplomacy and bureaucracy. The author also notes that the scholarly legacy and personality of İlber Ortaylı are kept alive within the university's academic environment.
