An exhibition entitled "Glorious samples of Azerbaijani folk art" will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria on June 14.
The event to be co-organized by the Azerbaijani embassy in Bulgaria is timed to the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Report.az reported.
During the exhibition, rich and colorful samples of Azerbaijan’s traditional handicrafts, such as carpet weaving, jewelry, embroidery, textiles, ceramics and copper will be presented to art lovers.
The exhibition will showcase the models of leading carpet weaving centers in Azerbaijan - Guba, Shirvan, Karabakh, various utensils made of copper from the 19th - early 20th centuries from a private collection, as well as a variety of silk scarves - "kyalagai".
Azerbaijan and Bulgaria have developed friendly relations after Bulgaria recognized the independence of Azerbaijan in January 1992. The embassy of Bulgaria in Azerbaijan was opened in December 1999.
The trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Bulgaria over the past five years amounted to about $1 billion.
