(MENAFN- AzerNews) With the organization of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the
Ministry of Culture and the Union of Writers of Azerbaijan, Vagif
Poetry Days begin.
According to Azernews , the Days of Poetry will
begin on July 13 in the Gazakh village of Yukhari Salahly, where
Molla Panah Vagif was born.
And on July 14-15, the Days of Vagif Poetry will continue in the
cultural capital of Azerbaijan - the city of Shusha.
Shusha was of great importance for Vagif. He was born in Gazakh,
but gained fame and glory in Shusha, where he was buried. Even
during the period of Vagif's life in Shusha, this city, dear to
every Azerbaijani, was considered the cultural center of
Azerbaijan.
Within the framework of Vagif Poetry Days, events will be held
in various historical and cultural places of the city of Shusha,
including the museum and mausoleum complex of Molla Panah Vagif
restored by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, as well as at the house
of the poetess Natavan, in the Shusha branch of the Azerbaijan
National Carpet Museum, in hotels "Kharibulbul" and "Karabakh".
It should be noted that on January 14, 1982, the grand opening
of the mausoleum of Molla Panah Vagif and the House of Poetry took
place in Shusha with the participation of national leader Heydar
Aliyev, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated this year. It was
within the framework of this trip that national leader Heydar
Aliyev gave instructions to hold Vagif Poetry Days. Vagif's Poetry
Days, which are unique in the history of modern Azerbaijani
literature, starting from that date and until 1991, began annually
in the poet's homeland - in Gazakh and ended at the magnificent
Cidir Duzu in Shusha.
After the liberation of the city of Shusha from the Armenian
occupation as a result of the victory of our heroic army under the
leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme
Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the Vagif Poetry Days, which have
a 41-year history, are again held in their homeland - in the
cultural capital of Azerbaijan.
