GANJA, Azerbaijan, June 6. Friendly relations
between Azerbaijan and Hungary are at a high level, the
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Hungary to
Azerbaijan, Tamas Torma, told Trend during his visit to Ganja.
The ambassador noted that Hungary attaches special importance to
the development of cultural relations with Azerbaijan and continues
its activities in this direction.
“There are excellent friendly relations between Hungary and
Azerbaijan. We continue these relations and, whenever possible, try
to promote Hungarian culture in Azerbaijan. For this purpose, we
have also come to the city of Ganja. I’m very glad to be here.
Ganja is the second largest, most influential, historical, and
cultural city of Azerbaijan. At the same time, we are in the native
land of Nizami Ganjavi. It’s a great honor for us to present
Hungarian culture here,” he said.
The diplomat also emphasized that samples of Hungarian national
and cultural heritage were demonstrated within the framework of
EuroVillage. According to him, Hungarian national ornaments and
decorative items made with special techniques were presented at the
event.
The ambassador noted that these decorative patterns, called
“kalarış”, are made by combining small stones in a special way and
reflect the national-folklore symbols of Hungary.
“Two folk artists from Hungary – Beatrix and Sidonia Hanembos –
came to Ganja for this event. We are pleased to represent Hungary
at the EuroVillage festival and to be in Ganja,” the diplomat
added.
