We have a rich cultural life. But we must enrich our cultural life.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from President Ilham Aliyev during a video conference with Anar Karimov on his appointment as Minister of Culture on January 5.

"I hope that after the vaccination this year, the pandemic will gradually disappear. We are also waiting for the vaccination in the coming days, after which normal life will be restored.

Our cultural life must be very rich, competitions and festivals must be held. We must both promote Azerbaijani culture in the world and continue to invite foreign guests," he added.
