Azerbaijani Ashig's Appeal to UNESCO

Ashig art plays one of the significant roles in the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan nation. It is the most popular form of national and artistic self - expression of about 50 million nation speaking in Azerbaijan language. "An ashig with saz in his hands" - such an image in the consciousness of Azerbaijani people is the base layer of national people's culture. The initiative of incorporating of ashig art as one of the unique cultural phenomenon representing spiritual power of Azeri nation into UNESCO's Intangible Heritage List is highly appreciated by Azerbaijani ashigs. This initiative was discussed and unanimously accepted by the participants of the V Congress of Azerbaijani ashigs and the support of ashig community found its reflection in the Resolution of the Congress. Taking into consideration the importance of incorporating of Azerbaijani ashig art into UNESCO's Intangible Heritage List in the protection and development of ashig art, the administrative staff of Azerbaijan Ashig Union and its members put their signature into this Appeal and once again express their support for this issue.
