About the faculty
The Faculty of Foreign languages of Nakhchivan State University has been functioning independently since 2020.

DEPARTMENT OF "RUSSIAN AND EASTERN LANGUAGES".
The department currently known as the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department of Nakhchivan State University was incorporated into the "Language and Literature" department on April 6, 1970, by order No. 54. On September 16, 1973, the name of the department was transformed into "Russian and foreign languages" by order No. 224. On May 25, 1995, the department was renamed "Russian language" due to the increase in hours of instruction in other foreign languages. On March 1, 2004, the department was renamed "Russian language and literature" in conjunction with the opening of the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher."
Starting from the 2000-2001 academic year, taking into account the needs of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and other regions of our country, including neighboring countries, the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher" was opened at NSU. In connection with the transition to the new education system from the 2009-2010 academic year, the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher" was transformed into the specialty "Russian language teacher."
After the new staff schedule of Nakhchivan State University was approved by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic No. 94 dated May 24, 2018, the issue according to the new staff schedule was considered by the University Scientific Council, and the "Russian language and literature" and "Eastern languages and literature" departments were combined. It was named the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department.
Currently, the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department offers staff training in three specializations.
