İnformasiya cəmiyyəti (İC), (Information Society) – elə cəmiyyətdir ki, burada əhalinin böyük hissəsi müasir informasiya texnologiyalarından istifadə etməklə informasiyanın, ən əsası isə onun ali forması olan biliyin istehsalı, saxlanması, emalı və ötürülməsi ilə məşğul olur. İC-nin əsas məqsədi informasiya bolluğu, başqa sözlə, insanların informasiya tələbatının ödəməyə imkan verən müxtəlif təyinatlı informasiya resurslarını yaratmaqdır. Bu bolluğun yaradılmasında hamı, xüsusən də, alim və ziyalılarımız yaxından iştirak etməlidir.Hər bir insan harada yaşamasından asılı olmayaraq informasiya və kommunikasiya şəbəkələrinə giriş imkanına malik olmalıdır. Çünki torpaqlarımızın 20%-ni işğal edən, Ermənilər bu işdə çox fəal iştirak edirlər və o qədər fəaldırlarki, Azərbaycan adı ilə qeydiyyatdan keçə biləcək “com, net, tv, org,info" və digər mühüm domeynları alıblar və həmin domeynlərdə məlumat yerləşdirmək artıq nəinki gecdir hətta qeyri mümkündür.Nəzərinizə çatdırımki, www.azerbaijan.com adlı domeynin alınması hələ 1997-ci il ENOM, İNC (Movses karamanoukian) adlı Erməni tərəfindən alınmışdır və o ABŞ-ın Los Angeles şəhərində yaşayır. Amma ən ciddi problem odurki belə alınmış domeynlərin sayı olduqca çoxdur və nəinki Azerbaijan adı ilə bağlı deyil. Təsəvvür edirəm, Azərbaycan haqqında məlumat toplamaq istəyən hər hansı bir xarici vətəndaş Azərbaycan haqqında məlumat toplamaq istəsə hansı təəsüratlar yaranacaq. Baxa bilərsiz: BAXIN AMMA SUSMAYIN!!!Davamı...
On October 18, 1991, the Parliament of Azerbaijan adopted the Constitutional Act on Independence, later approved by the referendum on December 30 of the same year, thus was restored the country’s independence.
Establishment of the independent Republic of Azerbaijan is an important historical event of our life. It is true that the way to independence was not easy for us and we have undergone severe tests. As a result of military conflict and aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan, occupation of about 20% of our territory by Armenian invaders about one million of our citizens were obliged to leave their native homes and turned into refugees and displaced people. Sabotage of internal and external forces against our statehood, disintegration of former economic relations, social and economic difficulties of the transition period and other problems made our way to independence more difficult. The Azerbaijani people struggled for the adoption of the Constitutional act on independence and achieved to it. This event also happened at the extraordinary condition executed by the Soviet Union in Azerbaijan. On January 20 1990, the Soviet Empire committed a bloody massacre in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan in order to destroy the mass democratic movement and freedom struggle of the Azeri nation.
