The Azerbaijan Cultural Centre in Uzbekistan has organised an
event dedicated to Western Azerbaijan, Azernews
reports.
Salama Fataliyev gave an educational lecture on the cultural and
literary heritage created by the Azerbaijani people in Western
Azerbaijan.
It was brought to the attention of the participants that, as a
result of the Armenian aggression, Azerbaijanis were expelled from
Western Azerbaijan, and all the materials and cultural heritage
were vandalised.
Thus, historical buildings, monuments, sanctuaries, and mosques
built by Azerbaijanis were destroyed.
The Azerbaijan Cultural Centre in Uzbekistan will continue a
series of lectures dedicated to Western Azerbaijan.
Based in Tashkent, the Centre plays a special role in
Azerbaijani-Uzbek relations in the fields of culture, science,
education, and tourism.
The Centre opened its doors on September 27, 2010. The President
of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, attended the opening ceremony.
Since then, the Azerbaijan Cultural Centre has successfully
implemented a number of projects, aimed at strengthening the ties
between the two countries.
The Cultural Centre earlier presented a photo exhibition
"Cultural Heritage and Monuments Created by the Azerbaijani People
in Western Azerbaijan".
The photo exhibition reflected the historical and religious
monuments of Azerbaijan in Yerevan, Goycha, Zangazur, Darelayaz,
etc.
A documentary film, "Tree of Generations," was also screened as
part of the event.
The project is dedicated to the theme of the return of Western
Azerbaijanis to their native lands.
The film was produced by the Network of the Azerbaijani
Journalists Public Association. The film's screenwriter is Ayaz
Mirzaev, and producer Elnur Niftaliev.
