Azerbaijan doesn’t imagine itself out of cultural space, where Russia and Russian masters of arts live.
Minister of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan Abulfas Garayev told reporters at the opening ceremony of exhibition of Azerbaijani artists in Moscow Tretyakov Gallery.
“Exhibition of this scale is a big event for both Azerbaijan and Russia. Similar joint projects will continue”, A. Garayev said.
According to him, both countries have good basis for realization of joint projects, including theatre performances, exhibitions and concerts.
“I can definitely say that today repertoires of Azerbaijani theatres are unthinkable without works of Russian authors, classics. Members of Russian theatres not only in Moscow, but also in regions are regularly invited to take part in our theatrical productions. Joint movie projects are also gaining momentum: two projects have been finished recently, which will enter international arena”, the minister told.
He expressed hope for continuation of such cooperation, and told that number of joint projects are scheduled for next year.
“Appropriate agreement has already been signed between both country’s ministers of culture”, he added.
Touching upon development of tourism in Azerbaijan, A.Garayev pointed out rise of touristic attractiveness of Azerbaijan for Russian citizens.
He added that the cultural element plays a major role in this process.
On November 14, Monday, opening ceremony of exhibition of Azerbaijani artists “Absheron Constellation” took place in Moscow Tretyakov Gallery. Number of famous figures and officials, including First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva honored the ceremony with their attendance.
