SECOND FESTIVAL OF ETHNIC MINORITIES WRAPS UP IN BAKU
The 2nd Republican Art Festival of Ethnic Minorities organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism under the slogan ‘My Homeland Azerbaijan’ was closed Thursday with a gala concert at the State Theater of Musical Comedy in Baku.
The festival, which brought together over 50 artistic groups representing ethnic minorities from more than 15 regions of Azerbaijan, was a good opportunity for them to display their customs, traditions and folklore.
Promoting strengthening of friendly relations between all ethnic groups residing in Azerbaijan, this event has become a vivid symbol of ethnic tolerance reigning in the country.
Once again it has proved every individual representing different nationalities living in Azerbaijan to be a full-right citizen of the country with big opportunities to follow their national customs and traditions and develop their own language and culture.
According to organizers, the main idea of the festival was to preserve and develop cultural heritage of ethnic minorities residing in Azerbaijan.
