Statue of Azerbaijani poetess damaged in Evian brought to Paris (PHOTO)

BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. The statue of
Khurshidbanu Natavan has been delivered to the cultural center of
the Azerbaijani Embassy in Paris, Trend reports.

The statue is expected to be installed in the garden of the
cultural center near the embassy.

It has been revealed that, in addition to red paint being
splashed on the statue’s eyes, “Azerbaijan” sign, and name, the
monument also sustained damage, with the nose and fingers of the
statue broken.

In May 2015, a Charter of Friendship and Cooperation was signed
in Ismayilli between the city of Ismayilli of the Republic of
Azerbaijan and the city of Évian-les-Bains of the French Republic.
The purpose of signing the charter at the time was to develop
friendly relations between the two cities and contribute to
bilateral relations in the fields of culture, tourism, and economy.
Substantial steps were taken in this regard, including reciprocal
visits.

As a continuation of the cooperation, the opening ceremonies of
the Azerbaijani Garden, the Friendship Spring in a park, and the
statue of prominent Azerbaijani poet Khurshidbanu Natavan, were
held in the city of Évian in 2017. However, the statue of
Khurshidbanu Natavan was vandalized in December 2023.
