About News from Azerbaijan Higher Technical Schools
In the Soviet period, the present Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) as the flagman of oil and gas higher educational institutions published the journal "Oil and Gas" (the series of "Transactions of the universities") for more than forty years.
In 1999 the Association of higher technical educational institutions of Azerbaijan stated about the need of an issue of a new journal (with the corresponding status). It is natural that the initiator of an updating of a journal was ASOIU (former Azerbaijan State Oil Academy), prior issuer and legal antecedent. By decision of the leadership of our university a new editorial office and editorial board was formed, and also a computer center was created, and in July 1999 the first issue of the "Proceedings of Azerbaijan High Technical Educational Institutions" journal was published.
