Ilham Aliyev’s speech about national values at a meeting with
young people and find out the main idea of each paragraph.

(1) “The values of Azerbaijan
are our core values. Of course,
we share universal human
values too. Azerbaijani values
form an integral part of
universal human values. But
there are values inherent in our
own nation. We are protecting
and should protect them”, said
President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with young people.
(2) “We have wonderful traditions and national values. We are
protecting them and you, young people, should maintain thcem. This
is a huge legacy, a large cultural heritage, our wealth,” the head of
state noted.
(3) “Our music, the art of carpet weaving, arts, literature, our native
language – all of this is our biggest wealth. We have taken care of
this wealth at all times… This is why we are developing as a nation
today. We have introduced ourselves to the world. Of course, in the
years of independence we have to protect these values even more.”
(4) “There is public policy and I, as President, pay particular
attention to these issues. This work is done by all government
agencies and public organizations. But there must be continuity
here. And this continuity will be provided by you, young people.
Therefore, young people should be educated in the national spirit.
We need to organize this at school and in the family,” he added.
