Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan: “Uzbekistan has created a place the world admires today”
Anar Alakbarov, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, familiarized himself closely with the activities of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, its scholarly and educational directions, and the achievements accomplished within a short period. During the visit, he toured the exhibitions and particularly noted the high standard of execution of the historical sources, multimedia solutions, and the architectural concept in each hall.
Sharing his impressions, Anar Alakbarov stated:
“By closely acquainting ourselves with the activities of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, we witnessed the results achieved in a short time. Why do I say ‘a short time’? Because as you walk through the exhibitions, the thought naturally arises that creating such a large-scale endeavor usually takes decades.
It is clearly felt that the Center’s specialists have worked devotedly on the content for many years. I carefully reviewed the presented materials the architecture of the building and every element of the exhibitions are truly impressive.
I express my deep gratitude to everyone who contributed to the creation of such a place. When traveling to many countries, we would admire similar facilities and think, ‘If only we had something like this.’ Today, thanks to your President’s initiative, this dream has become a reality and a unique center has been created.
I am confident that the religious and spiritual significance of the Center is immense. However, every visitor—from young children to researchers engaged in academic work—will find a great deal of interesting information here. In my view, this place will also become one of the most important cultural destinations for tourists visiting Tashkent.
Once again, I congratulate you on this great achievement.”
According to Alekperov, the Islamic Civilization Center has, in a short time, strengthened its standing not only as a scholarly and educational institution but also as a cultural and social center. The exhibitions, digitized sources, interactive educational solutions, and the distinctive architecture testify to Uzbekistan’s deep respect for its historical heritage and the proactive policies of the country’s leadership.
