Azerbaijan State Telegraph Agency (AZERTAC) has partnered with Vatan Society to hold the Day of Azerbaijani Culture in the Danish capital of Copenhagen.
Attended by representatives of the Azerbaijani and Turkish diaspora organizations and Danish public figures, the event highlighted the life and works of great Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajıbayli, and featured performance of his music pieces.
Speaking to the ceremony, chair of Vatan Society Safar Sadigi said such events “play an important role in bringing together our fellow countrymen who live far from Azerbaijan”.
He highlighted Vatan Society`s activities, particularly its work to promote the Azerbaijani culture and music in Denmark.
He thanked AZERTAC for presenting national clothes and textbooks to the Society, hailing this as a “sign of government support for Azerbaijanis living abroad”.
Other speakers stressed the importance of preserving and promoting the Azerbaijani cultural values, music and traditions.
Head of the Turkish diaspora in Denmark Bahadur Güler thanked AZERTAC and Vatan Society for organizing the event. “Such events open up wider opportunities for promoting the culture of both Azerbaijan and the Turkic world.”
For two years AZERTAC has co-organized events to promote Azerbaijan`s culture, history, music and traditions abroad in partnership with the country`s diaspora organizations.
