THE SPECIFICS OF THE NATIONAL CULTURE OF AZERBAIJAN

Abstract

The historical and geopolitical realities of Azerbaijan, which is permanently passing under the aegis of various external centers of influence, contributed to the formation of a plastic, rather than a symbiotic culture.

Due to the constant interaction with other cultures, Azerbaijani culture, however, in addition to plastics, has acquired characteristic features of marginality. The marked marginality everywhere contributed to the formation of "loose" states and societies with a reduced political culture. They were characterized by an inadequate assessment of the importance of statehood and the large-scale stratification of society, which testified to the strong motives of traditionalism that persist in culture, which often seems to be the basis of any development.

Azerbaijan has to go a certain way, connected with the need to transform some stereotypes of the national cultural tradition.
