YAP Youth Wing active in country’s youth movement

Youth Wing of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) has held a meeting to discuss the results of its last year activities.

First deputy chairman of the Parliament Ziyafat Asgarov highly appreciated the organization’s activity during the past twenty years.

He said young members of YAP are actively taking part in the public and political life of Azerbaijan. Asgarov stressed the importance of President Ilham Aliyev`s meeting with youth.

Deputy chairperson of the Parliament Bahar Muradova said: “We have familiarized ourselves with the activities of YAP Youth Wing for the past year. We see how colorful, multifaceted activities the organization carries out.”

Deputy Prime Minister, deputy chairman and executive secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party Ali Ahmadov noted that the Youth Day in Azerbaijan set up by national leader Heydar Aliyev has contributed to the promotion of youth movement in the country.

“Success, accomplishments and development of the youth are a source of proud for each of us,” he said.

Ahmadov stressed that YAP Youth Wing is an active part of the youth movement in the country.

The meeting featured a ceremony to award active members of YAP Youth Wing and public figures.

The Youth Day takes its origin from the first Youth Forum held in 1996. A year later, national leader Heydar Aliyev signed a decree according to which 2 February was declared the Day of Azerbaijani Youth.

From that time Azerbaijan became the first country among the CIS and Eastern Europe states to solemnly celebrate this day.

Today the youth policy has become an important part of the state policy in Azerbaijan. The young people are active in the implementation of different projects, initiatives and scaly developments. They are good athletes, talented musicians and successful inventors.
