Youth of Azerbaijan is a model of true friendship and generosity.

21 May 2020 | 02:00

Youth of Azerbaijan living in the period of independence and surrounded by the state attention and care are the gold reserves of our people. One of the important factors that ensure the effectiveness of youth policy in our country is the special attention shown to volunteer activities. Volunteering is one of the most successful forms of joint activity of citizens, society, and the state, uniting people for a common goal. Volunteering is a school of patriotism, a model of bond and service to the people, state, as well as national and spiritual values. The volunteer movement is given great importance in the activities of President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva. The Declaration of 2020 as the "Year of volunteers" in our country by the Head of State is a clear example of this fact. The volunteer movement, originates from the "ASAN service", now covering other areas. Currently, state structures are creating volunteer teams and groups. Young volunteers are already provided with very noble work. This work is multi-faceted, it involves direct communication with people, as well as assistance and help provided to them. Azerbaijani youth and the new generation are being brought up based on these national values; they are being introduced to the cultural behavior and cultural relations with deep roots. Volunteering stands for the protection of our state as our national and spiritual value. In response to the appeal of President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, the "Protect each other" campaign was launched. By a coordinated decision of 18 volunteer movements participating in this campaign, various educational and promotional activities are being carried out to protect public health in the new conditions emerging during the pandemic. The campaign regularly promotes citizens' compliance with the rules recommended by the Operational Headquarters of the Cabinet of Ministers and the World Health Organization. Thousands of volunteers participate in the campaigns created in a short time - "Protect the elders", "Volunteer-neighbor", "Volunteer-donor". Within the campaigns carried out by the Centre for Coordination of Azerbaijani Volunteers, volunteers contribute to the elimination of the threat by the pandemic to the lives of people in need. The tried-and-true volunteer movement has once again shown itself as a national movement standing out not only as a sphere of activity in our country, but also as a way of life for our youth, an important role in society. The participation of volunteer youth movements in campaigns and support activities aimed at groups vulnerable because of pandemic today demonstrates a real "model of friendship". With the slogan "Protect the elders!" our young volunteers visit the homes of thousands of elderly people living alone, low-income families, families of martyrs, people with physical disabilities in the capital and regions, and help them in getting packages consisting of various food and day-to-day goods. The respectful and caring attitude of our youth, volunteers to the elderly, people with disabilities, and their activity in this sphere are, first of all, a plain evidence of their devotion to national and spiritual values. In the current situation, our volunteers who visit families of martyrs, low-income families, homes of people with physical disabilities and elderly people living alone are an example of true befriending and virtue.
