To mark the 100th anniversary of the First Turkological Congress, Baku State University (BSU) has published a textbook entitled Lessons of the First Turkological Congress.

The textbook was prepared by Academician Nizami Jafarov, Head of the Department of General Linguistics at BSU's Faculty of Philology. The publication was reviewed by the BSU Academic Council, approved as a textbook, and published by the BSU Publishing House.
