(MENAFN- AzerNews) As part of the Vagif Poetry Days in Shusha, organized by the
Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and the Writers'
Union of Azerbaijan, the Electronic Mugham Hour and an open
microphone of poets and reciters were presented, Azernews reports.
It has become a tradition that all events held in Shusha
continue until late at night. Vagif's Poetry Days were no
exception. Despite the night hours, poems and music sounded from
different places in the city of Shusha. The next event of Vagif's
Poetry Days was the Electronic Mugham Hour. Tarist and composer
Ibragim Babaev performed a synthesis of national and electronic
music.
The Open Microphone evening was presented on the open stage,
where free speeches of readers and poets were also held, who
performed their poems in the form of improvisations to musical
accompaniment.
One of the participants was a doctor of philosophy in art
history, presidential scholarship holder, poet Bahruz Niftaliyev
said:
“The open microphone within the framework of Vagif Poetry Days
provided an excellent opportunity for poetry lovers and young poets
to recite their works, and for readers to show their skills. This
is a wonderful opportunity for creative self-expression, the
exchange of thoughts with like-minded people, bringing everyone
together on the spiritual foundations of high human thought.”
A guest from Uzbekistan, national poet Khurshid Davron, who last
visited Baku ten years ago, is happy to visit Shusha:
“It was my dream to visit the liberated Shusha. I have always
supported Azerbaijan in a just cause and once wrote a poem
dedicated to the children - victims of the Khojaly genocide. I died
with you and resurrected again. It was a great happiness for me to
see the beautiful nature and mountains surrounding the city of
Shusha. At the same time, I was very saddened to see so much
destruction and acts of vandalism committed during the Armenian
occupation on the way here. And at the same time, I was happy when
I saw the process of construction and restoration work going on
here, how carefully the Azerbaijanis treat their heritage. A new
life has returned to Karabakh, and thanks to such Vagif Poetry
Days, our fraternal peoples are even closer, give spiritual
enrichment and give hope for a better future,” Khurshid Davron
said.
On July 16, the second day of Vagif Poetry Days in Shusha will
be presented with a bright program.
