Every nation lives through its language, which is the essence of a people's identity, collective memory, and soul.
If a nation's language dies, the nation itself fades from history, regardless of its former power or development.
The fate of the Latins, who created the Roman Empire and cradle of Western civilization, serves as a reminder of this truth.
Our language is ancient and rich — the mother tongue of over 50 million people — and needs no foreign borrowings.
While there is an international lexicon that is widely used, linguistic sovereignty is a pillar of national strength.
Language is the foundation of national identity and strength, says President Aliyev.
