An exhibition timed to the Youth Day will be held in Baku.
The event will take place at Leyla Khazari Art Gallery on February 5, Azertag reported.
The exhibition is co-organized by the Ministry of Culture and the Azerbaijan State Art Gallery.
The exhibition is aimed at revealing talents of young people and supporting their participation in cultural events.
About 50 paintings by more than 30 young artists will be exhibited.
In addition, sale of paintings will also be organized as part of the event.
The Youth Day takes its origin from the first Youth Forum held
in 1996. A year later, national leader Heydar Aliyev signed a
decree according to which 2 February was declared the Day of
Azerbaijani Youth.
From that time Azerbaijan became the first country among the CIS
and Eastern Europe states to solemnly celebrate this day.
Today the youth policy has become an important part of the state policy in Azerbaijan. The young people are active in the implementation of different projects, initiatives and scaly developments. They are good athletes, talented musicians and successful inventors.
