Sattar Mohbaliyev: "Kharibulbul" festival was one of the most important steps taken to restore our national and spiritual values "
The holding of the "Kharibulbul" music festival
in Shusha shortly after the liberation is the most obvious indication of the
state's special attention and care for the restoration of both material and
spiritual values in the liberated territories.
The statement came from MP, chairman of the Azerbaijan
Trade Unions Confederation Sattar Mohbaliyev.
In his statement, the MP said that today Azerbaijan can
be a real example of how to maintain tolerance and multiculturalism to many
leading countries in the world who talk about democracy, but in practice can
not give up the principle of double standards. The holding of Eid prayers
there, the laying of the foundation of a new magnificent mosque and the
restoration of all Christian temples and historical and cultural monuments that
fell victim to Armenian vandalism in all our liberated territories is another
indicator of tolerance and multiculturalism in Azerbaijan. After a 30-year
break, the Kharibulbul music festival was held in Shusha, the cultural capital
of Azerbaijan. On the first day of the festival, the musical creations of
different peoples living in our country were presented on the theme
"Multiculturalism in Azerbaijani music." With their performances,
music groups and performers of different nations living in different regions of
our country conveyed the message to the whole world that everyone, regardless
of nationality or religion, has a single homeland. It would be good if some
countries, which often speak about democracy and human rights from the
prestigious seats of international organizations, and in practice do not give
up the principle of double standards, should follow the example of Azerbaijan
in this regard. In his speech at the opening of the festival, President Ilham
Aliyev stressed the importance of this message: “All peoples in Azerbaijan live
in friendship, brotherhood and solidarity, and this 44-day war has once again
shown that our country has national unity, national solidarity. It is no
coincidence that the first festival will feature representatives of the peoples
living in Azerbaijan, and once again we are sending a message to the whole
world from here - from Shusha, from our ancient land. Countries should develop
in this way, but in multi-religious, multi-ethnic countries and societies,
there is development, there is unity, there is national solidarity, there is
peace. ” On the recommendation of the President of Azerbaijan, this year's Kharibulbul
Festival has become a real living symbol of the long-standing traditions of multiculturalism
in Azerbaijan.
