Baku/27.01.23/Turan: The EU Delegation to Azerbaijan marked the 15th anniversary of its mission to Baku on Thursday with a concert of European classical music at the International Mugham Centre.
Before the start Peter Mihalko, head of the EU Delegation, addressed the audience with a welcoming speech.
He noted that the EU representation office in Azerbaijan has been actively developing cooperation with government agencies and private and public institutions of the country.
Speaking about the development of bilateral relations, Mikhalko also pointed to the exchange of visits at the highest level.
"The EU is Azerbaijan's main trading partner, half of Azerbaijan's exports fall on EU countries. The new memorandum on energy cooperation has raised our relations to a new level. There is also close cooperation in the field of green energy," he said.
Also, Mikhalko emphasized that the EU is working closely with Azerbaijan to clear mines and unexploded ordnance from the liberated territories, assisting ANAMA.
Besides, the EU has organised over 50 twinning projects in Azerbaijan.
The EU intends to continue supporting economic, justice and human rights reforms in Azerbaijan, Mikhalko said.

Events in history are not merely dates or fragments of historical memory; they leave deep marks on cultural memory as well. Artists, in particular, transfer these events into their works, shaped by their personal perceptions and interpretations. January 20 is one such event that has found its place in cultural memory. Although this topic is relatively less explored in contemporary art, it has never lost its relevance. How should this historical memory be represented? How does it manifest in art?

Each year, on January 13, Lithuania commemorates the Day of Freedom Defenders, honoring the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence in 1991. This pivotal moment in Lithuanian history marked the triumph of an unyielding will for freedom over Soviet oppression. Fourteen lives were lost, hundreds were injured, but the desire for liberty remained unshaken. The Day of Freedom Defenders is a solemn occasion for Lithuanians to reflect on their past and the true cost of freedom.
