BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 7. The Pomegranate
Festival was held at the Belarusian State Pedagogical University
named after Maxim Tank, initiated by the Center for Azerbaijani
Language and Culture, with organizational and technical assistance
from the State Committee for Work with Diaspora, Trend reports via
Azerbaijan's State Committee for Work with Diaspora.
The feast was graced by the presence of Commissioner for
Religious and Ethnic Affairs of Belarus, Aleksandr Rumak, along
with members of the congress of Azerbaijani Communities of Belarus.
The gathering also saw representatives from the Azerbaijani Embassy
in Belarus, the UN Office in Belarus, the Fund for Culture and
Education of Turkmenistan, UNICEF in Belarus, and a host of
university students.
The aim of putting this event together is to bolster the bonds
between the Azerbaijani and Belarusian folks in the realms of
education, science, and culture, while also raising a toast to the
110th anniversary of the university. The representatives of the
Azerbaijani community pulled back the curtain on our culture,
shedding light on its rich tapestry.
“Our friendship is a stabilizing factor in the country,” said
Aleksandr Rumak, Belarus' Commissioner for Religions and
Nationalities.
The Rector of the university Alexander Zhuk noted that the
educational institution closely cooperates with Azerbaijan in the
field of science, education, and culture; the Azerbaijani Language
Center was opened here, and the Belarusian Language and Culture
Center was established at Baku Slavic University in 2014.
At the festive event, the university's creative team performed a
concert program, demonstrating national dances and performing poems
and songs in both Azerbaijani and Belarusian languages. An
exhibition of works depicting the pomegranate created by prominent
Azerbaijani artist Togrul Narimanbekov was also organized at the
event.
