The Eurasian Regional Center of ICYF (ICYF-ERC) full-heartedly congratulates the Azerbaijani Youth and those working for youth both, at governmental and non-governmental levels on the occasion of 2 February – Azerbaijani Youth Day.
On February 2, 1996, by the relevant decree of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, the former President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the I Forum of Azerbaijani Youth was held and young people from all regions of the Republic participated in the forum. In 1997, the National Leader Heydar Aliyev signed an order that declared the day of the 1st Forum of Azerbaijani Youth – February 2 as the “Azerbaijani Youth Day.” This decision was among the firsts in the world to announce a specific date as a Youth Day.
Today, Azerbaijani Youth is one of the most active and advanced ones in the OIC geography. ICYF-ERC is thankful to the Government and youth of Azerbaijan – the initiator and active supporter of ICYF for its warm hospitality and will spare no effort to actively continue and develop the existing cordial relations and fruitful cooperation.
