In her speech entitled "Attitude to the native language in the creativity of Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh", the speaker stated that our mysterious mother tongue serves to enrich the spiritual world of people in Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh's poetry, instilling the idea that it is an indicator of national-spiritual values, our existence, and national identity, and emphasized that important issues such as the preservation of the mother tongue and its transmission to future generations form the core of the poet's creativity.

Deputy director for Scientific Affairs of Sheki RSC, PhD in philology, docent Kamil Adishirinov noted that the national leader Heydar Aliyev and his worthy successor, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, always paid great attention and care to the development of science and culture, and said that the holding of jubilee events of great personalities, scientists and cultural figures, the erection of monuments in their honor, the publication of their works in large circulation, and other such issues and delicate moments are a clear example of this care.

He noted that today's event is part of a series of events organized by Sheki RSC, and expressed his deep gratitude to the Oguz district administration and the Central Library of the Oguz Central Library for their joint cooperation and support in organizing the scientific-practical conference.

Then he continued his speech on the topic "The place and role of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade in the 20th century Azerbaijani literature." The speaker stated that Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh, who, after the great Nizami and Fuzuli, carries the mission of "From thought to verse, from verse to eternity" with dignity, and possesses a deep philosophical and aesthetic thought, not only his secular but also his religious worldview stems from our classical heritage and has challenged world literature since the 60s of the 20th century. He stated that the fact that the poet's artistic heritage has been translated and published in various languages is a fact that confirms what has been said.

Then, Tarana Abdullayeva, head of the Literary and Cultural Environment and Folklore Department, gave a report on the topic "Classical Heritage and Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh's Creativity: Parallels and Intersections". The speaker said that in the works of Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh, the great Fuzuli's philosophy of love, Nizami's idea of humanity, and Nasimi's struggle for truth and justice find a modern expression from a new perspective. He said that while conducting the research, parallels and intersections were identified by selecting examples from the classics and Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh's work, and he commented in his comprehensive and extensive report that all of this played a role of motivation for Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh's work.

Aygul Khalilova, a research associate at the Department of Archaeology and Ethnography, in her report titled "National Bigotry in the Shadow of Soviet Ideology" confirmed that the methods based on deep intelligence and philosophical thought, such as coding, subtextual allusions, and indirect delivery of ideas, used as artistic devices by our Soviet-era writers and poets, did not bypass Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh's work, but on the contrary, the poet's works, which have such a meaningful load, demonstrate a humanist position for humanity and humanity.

Head of the Department of History and Epigraphy of Sheki RSC, PhD Rahim Hasanov called Bakhtiyar Vahabzade a great philosopher, and expressed that in the poet's works, time, human, life, and social factors that have deep philosophical meaning are presented from an unusual perspective.
