Iran’s Cultural Attaché to Baku Ebrahim Naeid stated that the Persian language and literature Olympiad was completely based on acceptable standards adding that “holding these kinds of programs which aim at encouraging college students interested in Persian language and literature is highly significant and necessary.”
Dean of Persian Language and Literature Chair at the Baku State University Mehdi Kazimov expressed the university’s readiness for holding the Olympiad, and suggested the formation of an executive committee for planning for the Olympiad.
“The Persian langue and literature lab that was formed at this university with help from Iran’s cultural attaché also needs to be updated,” he stressed.
Currently some 120 students at three levels of BA, MA and PhD are taking a Persian language and literature course at Baku State University. Other universities in Azerbaijan including Khazar University, Ganja State University, and Ankara State University also offer Persian language and literature as an optional or compulsory course.
