The photo exhibition is held within the Year of Islamic Solidarity.
“Azerbaijan announced 2017 as the Year of Islamic Solidarity. Azerbaijan hosts Islamic Solidarity Games. All Muslim countries of the world attend that event. This year Azerbaijan will host a number of forums dedicated to development and improvement of multiculturalism and tolerance in the world,” said Azerbaijani Ambassador in Kazakhstan Rashad Mammadov.
The ambassador also informed that Kazakhstan National Museum will have a corner of Azerbaijan. The visitors will have a chance to get acquainted with history, culture, customs and traditions of the nation.
The Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games started May 8 and will last until May 22 in Azerbaijan’s capital.
