The centuries-old cultural heritage of Azerbaijan people is its national property. In the period of his presidency the
national leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev promoted the preservation, study and development of cultural heritage in Azerbaijan
to increase the people’s national self-expression in culture, art and folklore.
Nowadays, the national leader’s purposeful activity is continued by the next president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. His
decrees concerning culture, as well as laws adopted by the National Parliament of Azerbaijan, have created a strong base for
the protection and development of national cultural values and various kinds of folk applied art, including the Azerbaijan carpet
as the greatest achievement of Azerbaijan people.
In this connection, the Law on Preserving and Developing Azerbaijan Carpet Art is of especial significance. This law reg-
ulates issues of preserving and studying rich national cultural traditions of Azerbaijan carpet, as well as developing and popu-
larizing carpet art. All this promotes the continuation of successive traditions of Azerbaijan carpet art, the development and
increase of its technological and artistic values, and the strengthening of international fame of Azerbaijan carpet as the people’s
genetic memory.
A successful dialogue between the world civilizations is considered a bridge connecting the past and the present. One of the
bridge’s bearings is certainly the carpet art of Azerbaijan. The decree by the president Ilham Aliyev about the construction of a new
building of the Azerbaijan Carpet and Folk Applied Art Museum evidences the government’s high appreciation and concern for this
kind of art. Only the support for the development of Azerbaijan carpet can guarantee present and future successes in the art.
