Young people are usually considered to represent the future by bringing novelty and emerging energy into the system ruled by the worldly-wise. In Azerbaijan, youth is also believed to be one of the main sources for the country’s development.

Young Azerbaijani state celebrates the day of its youth on February 2. This year, the day is celebrated for the 20th time, which means that the country has managed to breed a new generation.

Being young and constantly developing country, Azerbaijan itself has changed a lot in these years and today’s youth cannot be compared to those who lived tens of years ago. This tendency is observed around the world, and quite obvious in Azerbaijan too.

Ahead of the big day, President Ilham Aliyev has met with representatives of the younger generation to congratulate on the occasion and present honorary diploma.

The meeting discussed many spheres of interest for the young generation including education, opportunities for young entrepreneurs, attracting young people to science and youth policy, volunteering, development of intellectual games and much more.

Representatives of youth organizations have used the opportunity to share their aspirations and ideas.

The head of state described the past 20 years as a period of development and stability, stressing that the main goal now is ensuring the sustainable development of the country, where the crucial role belongs to the youth.

However, the number one task is the liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, the president stressed.

He noted that young generation should be well aware of the situation on the global scale.

The head of state has specially noticed that there is a great need for serious reforms in the economic sphere in Azerbaijan. The upcoming years will be a period of innovation, the key word say the technology, so it is necessary to completely eliminate dependence on oil.

Here again, the role of the youth cannot be underestimated as young people as they are the main participants of the process.

The head of state assured that the state would continue supporting the youth in their initiatives.

The state is proud of its young generation and implements different programs to make the young people more advanced and cultured. A number of projects were realized for better education of the youth. They are open to the world and thousands of students were sent to study at the best universities worldwide.

Azerbaijani youth takes an active part in the different projects, initiatives and developments. They are good athletes, talented musicians and inventors.

The state policy holds the opinion that in the presence of creativity, qualitative education and hard work, innovative consciousness inherent in youth, can radically change the face of civilization.

There is no doubt that many of the problems in the world today will be resolved precisely because of boundless energy and determination of young people.

At present, over 2.5 million people, aged between 14 and 29, are considered as youth in 9.5 million people Azerbaijan. This constantly growing index is positive tendency for the country.

In the era of steadily progressing technology, it is a well known fact that the youth grasps in a single flash and today when the country needs them to bring innovation for further development, the young generation should be helping the homeland to prosper henceforward.
