Union of Azerbaijani Writers (UAW) ( _az. Azərbaycan Yazıçılar Birliyi (AYB)) is the largest public organization of Azerbaijani writers, poets and publicists. It was established on June 13, 1934 and has over 1500 members at present.
History
Prior to 1934, Azerbaijani writers grouped in variety of literary unions. In 1923, a group of writers formed the "İldırım" United Organization of Turkic Publicists and Poets. Later, in 1925, another organization known as "Qızıl qələmlər" ("Golden Pens") was established uniting most writers and regularly conducting literary gathering events.
