TEHRAN (FNA) - Tehran-based Kharazmi University opened its center for teaching the Persian Language to foreign students on the 100th anniversary of the opening of the academic center.

Early in October, the office of Iranian cultural attaché in Azerbaijani capital city of Baku opened training courses in Shahriar House of Culture to offer training courses to the people of Azerbaijan.
The opening was concurrent with the start of the new academic year and was participated by Iranian cultural attaché in Baku Asghar Farsi, instructors and students of the center.
The Iranian cultural center is offering courses in Farsi (Persian) language, computer, painting and tailoring and the classes were visited by the Iranian cultural attaches after the opening ceremony. During his tour of the classes, Farsi had conversations with a number of Azerbaijani citizens participating in the classes.
