In response to the deliberate and extrajudicial killings and violence committed by Russian law enforcement against Azerbaijanis based on their ethnic origin in the Sverdlovsk region, as well as the increasingly systematic nature of such incidents, all planned cultural events involving Russia—organized by both state and private institutions in Azerbaijan—have been cancelled.
This was announced by the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan.
The cancelled events include concerts, festivals, theatrical performances, exhibitions, and other cultural programs.
The Ministry clarified that citizens who had purchased tickets in advance may contact the relevant sales points or online platforms for refunds.
