The Baku Higher Oil School of SOCAR (BHOS) has hosted a solemn event on the occasion of March 8 - International Women's Day.
Opening the event, BHOS Rector Elmar Gasimov congratulated the female employees, students and graduates of the university, and in their person, all Azerbaijani women, and expressed his good wishes to them. The rector noted that throughout history, Azerbaijani women have been distinguished by their courage and heroism, and at the same time they have contributed to the development of our country, being at the forefront of various fields of culture, art, education, healthcare and science. Elmar Gasimov stressed with great pride that Azerbaijani women have occupied leading positions in many areas throughout history.
“Women play a big role in the success of Baku Higher Oil School and make an invaluable contribution to the development of the university.
