Cultural events related to Russia are being canceled in Azerbaijan

All Russian cultural events in Azerbaijan canceled in response to tragic events in Yekaterinburg

In connection with the recent tragic events in Yekaterinburg, where cases of violence against Azerbaijanis by Russian law enforcement agencies occurred, Azerbaijan has decided to cancel all cultural events organized by Russian state and private institutions on the territory of the country. Concerts, festivals, performances, exhibitions, and other cultural events have been banned.
