On June 24, 2013 at the Institute of Geography was held the meeting of collaborators of the institute with the President of the ANAS Academician A.Alizade.

 The participants greeted the guest warmly. And Academican Alizade in his turn told that his every visit to the institute of Geography he considered as the meeting with his native collective. He noted that the Institute of Geography always occupied a particular pleace in the Department of Earth Sciences. Speaking on the purpose of his visit to the institute A.Alizade informed the participants that soon there would be a meeting of the Presidium of ANAS with there must be adopted a decree about the approval of director of the Institute of Geography. It is already 8mounth as the fuctions of director was executed by prof. Ramiz Mammadov and I think that he carried out this duty with dignity. Ramiz Mammadov is a scientist which gives a great importance to novelty, new technology, support to young scientists and differs for his huge scientific experience and industry. He is held in respect and authority among the collaborators.

Side by side with this the deputy director on science of the institute is nominated Alizade Elbrus Kerimoghlu which is widely known scientific association of outside of Azerbaijan. We hope that under the leadership of Ramiz Mammadov and Elbrus Alizade the opportunity of the Institute of Geographywill be extended and deepened much more.
