Bloggers Visited Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan Visa from Pakistan

As part of the "Show me Azerbaijan" project, which will run from November 20 to 27, a group of foreign bloggers visited Azerbaijan on the initiative of the Eurasian Regional Center of the Youth Forum of Islamic Cooperation (ICYF-ERC).

In addition to providing information about Icherisheher to bloggers from over ten different countries, including the United States, France, Spain, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Egypt, Read Gasimov, the chief of staff of the administration of the State Historical and Architectural Reserve "Icherisheher," provided information to bloggers. As part of their visit, the visitors were introduced to the historical monuments and buildings of Icherisheher.

Later, foreign bloggers took part in presentations about the Karabakh region. Rahman Hajiyev, President of the Karabakh Revival Fund, presented the concept of urbicide, which means urban genocide, and provided information on monuments destroyed during the Armenian occupation in Shusha, Fuzuli, Aghdam, and other parts of Karabakh. Rahman Hajiyev also spoke about the ongoing reconstruction efforts in the liberated areas, including the renovation of Shahbulagh (Aghdam) castle, the statue of Uzeyir Hajibeyov, the carpet museum, as well as the development of smart parks and the restoration of water sources.

Then, the famous photographer Reza Deghati gave his opinion to foreign bloggers by posting photos of the ruins from his visits to various parts of Karabakh.

The Azerbaijan Tourism Agency representative, Nuray Ahmadova, presented information on the tourist potential of the country, routes, natural attractions, and travel requirements for foreigners. She also spoke about Azerbaijan's involvement in the Slow Food International Project.

It should be noted that the daytime video content on Baku was produced and shared by foreign bloggers. The main objective of the project (Show Me Azerbaijan - Shusha International Bloggers Camp) is to familiarize foreign bloggers with destroyed and vandalized cultural monuments, ancient villages and natural beauty, historical sites, and cultural monuments of Karabakh, especially of Shusha. The project also aims to familiarize them with the restoration and reconstruction efforts undertaken after the city's liberation from occupation and ultimately share their experiences with the world as part of the President's proclamation of the Republic of Azerbaijan this year as "Year of Susa."

Remember that last year, a similar project was successfully implemented at the initiative of the ICYF-ERC. Thus, 13 bloggers from 8 different countries - including 3 well-known videographers from the United States and Algeria - visited the territories liberated from occupation within the framework of the "Show me Azerbaijan" project and broadcast their video reports on historical sites destroyed as a result of the Armenian occupation. These videos have been viewed by over 7 million people. By the end of this year, one of the main goals of the project is not only to increase the number of attractions (shares, views) but also to produce brand new videos about Karabakh.
