From April 20 to 25, the Days of Azerbaijani Culture are being held in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
These significant cultural days mark a new chapter in the cultural relations between the two countries, offering the brotherly Kyrgyz people a presentation of various facets of Azerbaijani culture.
