    Azerbaijan will increase the number of students studying abroad at
    state's expense.

    The news was announced by Education Minister Mikayil Jabbarov at the
    first meeting with the students whose nominees were approved by the
    Education Commission under the Azerbaijani President for studying in
    foreign universities as part of a state program.

    "The number of Azerbaijani students studying abroad at state's expense
    will reach to three thousands In the 2014-2015 academic year. The
    project would be carried out as part of the state program on education
    of Azerbaijani youth abroad in 2007-2015," he said.

    Jabbarov said a group of students selected by the Education Commission
    would continue their education in the Great Britain, Turkey,
    Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Poland, France, USA, Italy, the Russian
    Federation and other foreign countries on Bachelor, Masters,
    Doctorate, and PhD degree.

    Jabbarov further noted that the mentioned state program is expanding
    and today every Azerbaijani citizen has a right to use it.

    "I am confident that after completing your studying, you will play an
    important role in the development of our society," he said. "You have
    proven your competitiveness in a globalizing world by entering foreign
    universities. But it is not enough for further success in the future.
    The achievement of the goal requires hard works and efforts. You have
    to work diligently on yourself to achieve the desired."

    Jabbarov went on to say that Azerbaijan is one of the few countries,
    which implements educational programs covering spending on education,
    as well as living abroad.

    He underlined that one of the main conditions for participation in the
    state program is high academic performance.

    Jabbarov said during studying abroad each student should remain in
    contact with the Azerbaijani embassies in the respective states.

    "Today, Armenia spreads worldwide distorted information about the
    history, the realities of Azerbaijan, and the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict," he noted. "Each Azerbaijani student studying abroad can
    contribute to conveying Azerbaijani realities to the world's
    community."

    To date 2,612 students were sent abroad within the state program on
    education of Azerbaijani youth abroad in 2007-2015. Graduates of this
    program successfully continue their activities in the private and
    public sectors.
