The ceremony was opened by the chairman of the Union of Theater Workers of Azerbaijan, Peoples Artist Azer Pasha Neymatov. Then he spoke about the development of our national theatrical art and the challenges it faces. He noted that a number of fundamental state documents on the development of culture in the country were adopted in recent years on the direct initiative of President Ilham Aliyev, who successfully continues the policy of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev. Speaking about the historic victory of our army in the 44-day World War II under the leadership of Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the chairman of the Azerbaijan Theater Workers Union mentioned that the current state of affairs is very different from what it was before.
