12<strong>In</strong> <strong>Search</strong> <strong>of</strong> "<strong>Khazar</strong>"nothing? Which <strong>of</strong> our scientific institutions are famousfor their important works and glorious traditions?Which universities can <strong>of</strong>fer diplomas th<strong>at</strong> are able tocompete with European and American ones?If today we do not think about the future <strong>of</strong> ourscience, educ<strong>at</strong>ion and culture, do not take seriousmeasures, it is certain th<strong>at</strong> our future will be bleak.

The two hadinsignificant influence on each other.
