BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 28. On May 28, President
of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the opening of
the Cultural Center in the city of Khankendi following its major
overhaul, Trend
reports.
Elchin Yusubov, Special Representative of the President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan in the city of Khankendi and the districts
of Khojaly and Aghdara, briefed the head of state on the
project.
The Cultural Center building in Khankendi was constructed in the
1960s and 1970s. Decades of use had resulted in extensive wear,
structural deformation, and damage to its load-bearing
components.
As part of the comprehensive reconstruction work, the center has
been equipped with the necessary facilities to host various
cultural and public events, cinema and stage activities, creative
workshops, training sessions, rehearsals, administrative
operations, and tourism-oriented services. The three-story building
includes assembly and cinema halls, a multifunctional area housing
various clubs, dressing rooms, a cafeteria, a ticket office, and a
souvenir shop. The center’s 348-seat hall will host concerts,
performances, film screenings, presentations, official meetings,
and other public events.
Following its modernization, the center is expected to play an
important role in revitalizing the cultural life of Khankendi – a
city experiencing rapid population growth and an increasing student
population – by serving as a major venue for public and community
events.
