    BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 23. The Heydar
    Aliyev Center hosted the grand opening of the “Nasimi Festival of
    Poetry, Spirituality, and Art,” organized by the Heydar Aliyev
    Foundation and the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan in partnership
    with the Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
    (ICESCO), Trend

    The opening of the festival featured an international forum on
    the theme “In Search of Eternal Truth,” which brought together
    about 70 researchers and scholars from Azerbaijan, Türkiye,
    Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Canada, Germany, Iran, Iraq, Oman,
    Tajikistan, and other countries.

    One of the guests was Dr. Mohammadreza Karimi (Canada), who
    previously worked at Iranian universities in Zanjan and Sanandaj
    and has been living in Canada for the past few years at Simon
    Fraser University. The scholar presented a paper titled “Nasimi’s
    Place in the Formation of the Azerbaijani Literary Language and Its
    Narrative.”

    “This is my third visit to Azerbaijan, where various events are
    always held at the highest level. While researching in an Iranian
    library, I discovered Nasimi’s work, ‘Tarigatname,’ which
    profoundly reflects and reveals the philosophy of the great poet
    and philosopher, pointing out the true path of human perfection. In
    previous years, the Nasimi Festival was presented primarily through
    the prism of cultural heritage, but it’s very important that this
    year, the focus is on the scholarly study of the great poet’s work.
    I highly value this international forum, where scholars from
    different countries can present their views and research on
    Nasimi’s legacy and exchange interesting opinions,” said

    The festival, held since 2018, has become a tradition and an
    important cultural platform designed to unite generations and
    cultures, promote dialogue, and reveal the rich heritage of the
    great thinker and poet Imadeddin Nasimi through the prism of
    contemporary art. This year, from September 23 through 25, Baku and
    Shamakhi will be the centers of a rich program dedicated to
    studying the poet’s philosophical and literary heritage, as well as
    a wide range of events in the fields of literature, theater, and
