Ann Derse visited Nakhchivan State University (NSU) and met with rector of the University Isa Habibbbayli. The ambassador also visited America-Azerbaijan Relations Center functioning in University, Law Clinics and CISCO Networking Academy. NSU students met Ann Derse in America-Azerbaijan Relations Center and expressed their protests on the exhibition held in Harvard University on the theme of â€œArmenian monuments in Nakhchivanâ€ conducted by Armenian professors. The ambassador recommended the students to send their protests in written form to leadership of Harvard University after listening to them.
The analogical case happened in Nakhchivan Private University. US ambassador gave lecture in Azerbaijani â€œDemocracy: Azerbaijan-US relationsâ€ here. One of the students of the University asked Ms. Derse a question in English due to the event in Harvard University. US ambassador stated that Harvard University is an independent higher school. She saying that Azerbaijani students know English in high level stated that this ability is a large opportunity for propagating history of Azerbaijan abroad. US ambassador will also visit Nakhchivan AR Central Library named after Ordubadi, participate in the opening of Regional Information Center here and meet with NGOs and Party representatives functioning in AR in the framework of his visit to AR. Ms. Derse will hold briefing at the end of her visit./APA/
