Baku/07.07.21/Turan: Georgia and Azerbaijan will jointly restore the Red Bridge on the border of the two countries. This decision was made on July 7 at a meeting in Tbilisi between the ministers of culture of Georgia Tei Tsulukiani and Azerbaijan Anar Kerimov, Newsgeorgia reports.
The Red Bridge is a bridge across the Khrami River in the border strip between Georgia and Azerbaijan. Located on the road between Tbilisi and Ganja. The bridge is recognized as a valuable architectural monument of the 17th century. The bridge was in use until 1998, when a new, much wider bridge was built as part of the TRACECA program.
In 2001, by order of the Azerbaijani government, the bridge was included in the list of objects protected by the state and declared an "architectural monument of history and culture of world importance."
According to the Georgian minister, both countries should jointly take care of the preservation of the cultural heritage monument and carry out its conservation and restoration.
“The Red Bridge, which we are restoring together, will become a symbol of the pride of the two countries, a symbol of how two friendly countries can jointly restore the bridge, which in Azerbaijani is called Sinig korpu (Broken Bridge),” Tsulukiani said.
At the meeting, the ministers also agreed to cooperate in the field of cinema, as well as share experience to ensure proper protection of the cultural heritage of the two countries. Within the framework of the official visit of Anar Kerimov, meetings are planned with the Prime Minister of Georgia and other members of the government.
