As the site Modern.az reports, participant of the event - the head of the Association of Azerbaijani intellectuals Eldaniz Guliyev congratulated everyone on the day and said that the Talish people are going to get engaged in the process of democratization of Azerbaijan more actively.

Guliyev noted that the "Azeri - Talish" union has applied for receiving a state registration for several times, but has each time been refused on farfetched reasons: "The Justice Ministry told us that we will be register only if we remove the word "Talish" from the title."
