On 13 March, a ceremony was held to award the rector of the Baku branch of Moscow State University and Doctor of Philology, Professor Nargiz Pashayeva with the Golden Order of Merit of the European Economic Chamber of Trade, Commerce and Industry (EEIG).
Opening the ceremony, lecturer in Russian literature Andrey Krupchanov described the activities of Moscow State University. He noted that today the Baku branch is one of the most prestigious and leading universities. It is a dynamically-developing university which trains bachelors and masters in mathematics, psychology, philology, chemistry and economics. The Branch works with leading universities around the world. Over the last two years, a campus, including academic and residential buildings, has been built in Azerbaijan for the first time.
The branch has the latest scientific equipment to create an environment that provides the basis for the unification of all the staff and faculty members. He noted that thanks to the vigour of Nargiz Pashayeva, in a short time the university was able to take its rightful place not only among the universities of the country, but also far beyond its borders, 1news.az reports.
