AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Culture Policy & Libraries: Azerbaijan’s Culture Ministry met with writers and publishers to discuss transparent publication purchases, preparations for the 12th Baku International Book Fair (Oct 21–27, children-focused under “Life Is Bigger Than a Screen: One Child, One Book, One Real World”), and a new library optimization model aimed at modernizing services and expanding access to books. Library Reform Reality Check: Officials say most libraries fall short of international standards; children’s and scientific holdings remain limited, internet access is uneven, and automated library management is missing in the vast majority of libraries. Book & Heritage Spotlight: The National Library hosted an exhibition honoring scholar Kamil Veli Narimanoglu (80), while Azerbaijan’s Folklore Group “Gorgud” represented the country at Hungary’s 9th Great Hun Turkic Congress. Arts & Youth Film: Baku will host the 5th SALAM International Youth Film Festival (Aug 24–27) at the Nizami Cinema Center. Education & Culture Tech: Azerbaijan’s national team won three bronze medals at IOI 2026 in Tashkent, supported by Azercell and education partners. Culture Diplomacy: Azerbaijani journalists visited Uzbekistan’s Center of Islamic Civilization, highlighting heritage preservation and intercultural dialogue. Sports Culture: Three Azerbaijani wrestlers reached U-20 World Championship semifinals in Bratislava. Activism Under Pressure: Prosecutors sought a suspended sentence for activist Galib Bayramov, while another activist, Nijad Ibrahim, reportedly cut his throat in protest over prison treatment and tightened detention conditions.
