An international poetry
project "Greetings to Shusha" has been presented at the Union of
Azerbaijani Writers.
Initiated by the
Natavan poetry club, the project unites 44 well-known writers and poets from 30
countries, who will recite poems about Shusha, the cradle of the Azerbaijani
culture. Eight poets will represent Azerbaijan at the project co-organized
jointly by the Culture Ministry, the Union of Azerbaijani Writers, and Space TV
Channel.
Speaking at the project
presentation, the secretary of the Azerbaijani Union of Writers, poet-publicist
Salim Babullaoglu, provided insight into the project.
He
said that writers in 30 different countries of the world have been approached
about the project: “Every day a poem by a
foreign writer will be broadcast on Space TV starting from September 27 until
November 8, a day which entered history as Azerbaijan's victory in the Second
Karabakh War.”
Chairman of Union of
Writers, People's Writer Anar noted that the Union has always been at the
center of events since the beginning of the Karabakh War: “Writers' Union will continue its work on
conveying Azerbaijan's fair position to the international community.”
Head of Space TV
Mushfiq Hatamov said that the poetry project will take a special place in
informing the world about Azerbaijan's righteous case. He pointed out that
telling the truths in the language of poets from different countries will once
again prove to the whole world that Karabakh is Azerbaijan.
The first secretary of the Azerbaijani Union of Writers, People's Writer Chingiz Abdullayev, pointed out that the writings of poets and writers remain in history forever: “Because the words of the writer and poet live forever. In fact, a good writer is the people's advocate in eternity. It should be noted that the "Greetings to Shusha" project will continue from September 27 to November 8.”
