Dear graduates!
Please accept my warm greetings and sincere congratulations on the occasion of your graduation!
School years are the most memorable period in everyone’s life. During the 11 school years starting with mastering the alphabet, you discovered the secrets of science. Finally, today you bid farewell to your childhood and carefree school years.
Graduation causes rather conflicting feelings in every person. Today you are parting company with the school you went to for many years and with your teachers and classmates. At the same time, starting from today, you are entering an independent life, a new and important stage that will determine your future.
Science is developing fast in the modern world. Every day we bear witness to important discoveries. All this opens up ample opportunities for you, young people. In-depth learning of modern science is the requirement of our time. It is now up to you to be active and courageous, to develop the knowledge gained by putting forward new ideas in various fields, and to implement them.
Regardless of the profession you chose, each of you must protect the independence of our state, the noble values inherent in our people, and make effort to further develop and strengthen Azerbaijan. I am sure that from now on every decision and every step you take will be based on good intentions, nobility and justice.
