BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 22. Azerbaijan will open a school in Istanbul, marking the country’s first effort to establish an Azerbaijani-language institution abroad, said Emin Amrullayev, Minister of Science and Education of Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the new building of the Baku Turkish Anatolian High School, Amrullayev stated that the project is aimed both at serving the children of Azerbaijani citizens living in Türkiye and at strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.
