The publication of Dovletshah Samarkandi's book in Baku and its presentation at the academy at the same level also contribute to deepening the current processes in our countries. I believe that today's event is one of the strong bridges in the direction of further development of Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan relations in the period of independence.
This tazkirah is a literary-historical source of the Turkic world and general folklore in a large geography from Uzbekistan to Anatolia. Tazkira is written according to the principles of the beginning of classical poems. Tazkira is a scientific work, and there is a preface, a definition of a king, a prophet and an author. In the end, I was terminated. In fact, this is a perfect encyclopedia of literature that overcomes the barriers of tazkira.
I especially appreciate what Dovletshah Samarkand wrote about Nizami Ganjavi. This tazkirah is referred to in current studies and will be referred to more conveniently.This will be one of the most reliable sources for the Nizami Ganjavi Encyclopedia has prepared by us.
