As an integral part of the spiritual culture of Azerbaijan, researches have been conducted in the study of Nakhchivan's word memory, oral folk literature, and many results have been obtained in the genre, regional and historical directions of folklore. The scientific results obtained by the department are reflected in the publication of collection materials, as well as in separate monographs. The collected materials were involved in comparative research with other regions of Azerbaijan, as well as Turkey and other Turkic peoples. As a result, both the collection materials and the obtained scientific results were published as monographic publications in several countries and in different languages and aimed at the promotion of oral folk literature in the Nakhchivan region. As a result, the following collection materials, monographs and books were published.
