Azerbaijan University has joined the "Turkish World Digital Citizenship" project. Yusif Gasimov, Vice-Rector for Scientific Affairs, represented Azerbaijan University at the signing ceremony of the cooperation protocol of the project, which involved 71 universities from the Turkic world. The project, coordinated by Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University and Gaziantep University of Turkey, envisages the teaching of "Turkish World Digital Citizenship" as an elective subject at partner universities at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Talking at the signing ceremony, Professor Alpaslan Ceylan, Rector of the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, who hosted the event, recalled Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's expression "family meeting" and  said that the rectors of the universities of the Turkic world are valuable members of the large family and wanted to know their views on the implementation of the project.
