The Cabinet of Ministers was instructed to submit proposals for the construction of the building, providing modern infrastructure and logistical base for training in information technology and engineering at the University «ADA».
The University «ADA» was created by presidential decree on 14 January 2014 on the basis of the Diplomatic Academy of the Foreign Ministry and the University of Information Technology at the Ministry of Communications. According to unofficial data, all the faculties of international relations at other universities will be closed, and will remain only in the ADA.
Hafiz Pashayev is deputy foreign minister and uncle of Mehriban Aliyeva. President Ilham Aliyev’s son, Haidar, also studies in ADA.
It is not quite clear how the new university will function, since so far it was the Academy for retraining diplomats, most of whom were from developing countries. -06D-
