Azerbaijan and Turkiye are jointly filming TV series about the
Second Karabakh War, Azernews reports.
In his statement, First Deputy Culture Minister Elnur Aliyev
told Report.az that the filming is being carried out
in cooperation with the famous Turkish studio Bozdag Film.
The first deputy culture minister pointed out that the series is
initially planned to consist of eight episodes.
'The work is nearing completion. I don't want to run ahead of
the story, but I can say that the first series is expected to be
released this year,' said Elnur Aliyev.
The first deputy culture minister noted that the name of the
screenplay is already known.
'But it is too early to announce the name of the series because
it is not certain. The series is the result of cooperation between
Turkiye and Azerbaijan. Turkish and Azerbaijani actors will be cast
in the series. We will try to make it a symbol of our cooperation,'
he said.
The first episode is expected to be broadcast on Victory Day
(November 8).
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan and Turkiye reached an agreement on
cooperation in the film industry in 2021.
Azerbaijani Culture Minister Anar Karimov and Turkish Deputy
Culture and Tourism Minister Ahmet Misbah Demircan discussed the
production of joint films and series dedicated to Azerbaijan's
victory in the 2020 second Karabakh war.
The clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan resumed after Armenia
launched large-scale attacks on Azerbaijani forces and civilians on
September 27.
The 44-day war ended with the Russia-brokered peace deal signed
on November 10 by the Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian
leaders.
The peace agreement ended the 30-year-old conflict between Baku
and Yerevan over Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region that along
with the seven adjacent districts came under the occupation of
Armenian armed forces in the war in the early 1990s.
For about three decades, Armenia failed to implement the UN
Security Council resolutions demanding the withdrawal of the
Armenian troops, which was the main obstacle to the resolution of
the conflict.
