These arguments mainly covered the following themes: a) Social-political status of native language b) Native language`s name In the first Constitution adopted after the establishment of Soviet rule in Azerbaijan, there was no item about state language. In the Constitution adopted in 1937 after Azerbaijan`s membership in SSRU, state language item was also absent. In 1956 on decision of Surpreme Council of Azerbaijan SSR the item about adopting Azerbaijani Turkish as state language was added to the Constitution of 1937. After that native language usage promlems in Azerbaijan arose. After gaining the independence, along with native language usage problems state language`s name issue also became actual problem and the centre of arguments.
