TO PARTICIPANTS OF THE 6TH BAKU INTERNATIONAL “EAST-WEST” FILM FESTIVAL
It is really praiseworthy that the “East-West” film festival is being conducted during the period of intensification of cultural integration processes within the rapidly globalizing world.
This festival, which has already become a good tradition, is serving both strengthening of mutual understanding and friendship between our countries and preservation of cinematographic traditions.
Organization of the film festival in the Azerbaijan’s capital Baku, a junction of the West and the East, embodies true cultural bridge between the nations.
I hope that such events will not only promote constructive and fruitful dialogue between cultures, but also have a positive impact upon further development of national cinematographies.
Dear festival participants!
On the occasion of this remarkable event in the cultural life of our country, this great film holiday, I extend to you my sincere congratulations and best wishes for your good health, happiness and new creative successes.
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku, 15 May 2004
