Characteristics of the Library-Information Service in the Republic of Azerbaijan in A Poly-Ethnic Condition (based on the example of Sheki-Zagatala economic region)

Öz

The population of Sheki-Zagatala economic region differs from other regions of the country due to its polyethnic characteristics. Here, along with Azerbaijanis; Lezgis, Turks, Kurds, Avars, Tatars, Ukrainians, Georgians, Russians, Englishmen, Budugs, Nijs, Udins and representatives of other peoples and ethnicities live in a friendly neighborhood. There are steps taken to protect the ethnic and cultural heritage, the polyethnic evolution of Azerbaijan and its traditions of tolerance. It is no coincidence that at the beginning of the 20th century, well-known ethnographic scientists valued Azerbaijan as an 'ethnographic museum' where all nations live in friendly neighborliness. Currently, more than eighty minority peoples are living in the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. They belong to Caucasian-speaking, Iranian-speaking, and Turkic-speaking groups and are part of the ethno-confessional composition of the country's population. Among them, the Udis, Ingiloys, Grizs, Budugs, Tats, Talyshs, Russians, Lezgis, Jews and other peoples can be mentioned.
