The cultural analysis of modernization processes in Azerbaijan became the object of research in the article and the problem was evaluated from the standpoint of East-West conceptual ideas, the logical results of the enlightenment process resulting from the establishment of the Republic were summarized and the main directions of cultural construction in the republic were highlighted.

Azerbaijan encountered surely obstacles of various nature on the way to the formation of an effective socially well balanced Europeanization. In this respect, the contribution of Azerbaijani patriots is outstanding. Thanks to their efforts, it can be stated that among Muslim countries Azerbaijan pioneered in many fields of social improvement. Indeed, the historical process that took place there at the end of 19th–beginning of 20th century is the example that universal ideas such as secular education of masses, women and children rights, freedom in the Arts, democracy and equality of gender are possible to be efficiently infused in Muslim society with long-lasting benefits.
