April 23 - World Book and Copyright Day has been solemnly celebrated in Azerbaijan since 1997. In this regard, every year the Intellectual Property Agency organizes a series of events, including national and international conferences. Meetings are also held with authors and right holders, book exhibitions are organized to instill respect for copyright, and the works of prominent authors and various publications published by the Agency are displayed at such exhibitions..

In recent years, conferences dedicated to World Book and Copyright Day have traditionally been held in our country under the motto "Ancient texts and classical sources expose Armenian fabrications". At such events, which are attended by prominent scientists and experts, Armenian forgeries and plagiarism are exposed on the basis of ancient texts, historical sources and facts.
