Together with the diplomatic corps, we visited the Ganjasar and Khudavang churches — an integral part of the ancient Albanian Christian heritage.

Ganjasar was established in the 13th century by Hasan-Jalal Dawla, the Caucasian Albanian ruler, and stands as an important testament to the centuries-old Christian heritage of Caucasian Albania.

During the years of occupation, these monuments were subjected to external interventions under the guise of makeshift “restoration,” compromising their architectural authenticity and original character.

Every historical, cultural and religious monument on the territory of Azerbaijan, irrespective of its origin or religious affiliation, forms an integral part of our country’s rich cultural heritage. The Azerbaijani state is committed to their protection, preservation and restoration.

Azerbaijan’s experience in safeguarding its multicultural and multireligious heritage has earned international recognition. We stand ready to share this experience with other countries, including our neighbors.

We also invite media outlets engaged in spreading fake news and misleading narratives on this issue to visit these sites and see the reality on the ground for themselves.

Seeing is believing.

The grave monument of Hasan Jalal Allahverdibekov, a descendant of Hasan Jalal Dawla.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, members of this lineage continued to bear the name of their illustrious ancestor — Hasan Jalal Dawla, the Albanian ruler and founder of the Gandzasar Monastery — passing it down through generations.

This monument stands as a tangible testament to centuries of historical continuity and ancestral memory.

Bütün dünyaya göstərəcəyik ki, biz qurub-yaradan xalqıq, eyni zamanda, döyüşən xalqıq. Bu torpaqları biz qan tökərək qaytarmışıq, - Allah bütün şəhidlərimizə rəhmət eləsin, - parlaq Qələbə qazanmışıq, bu Qələbənin müasir tarixdə tayı-bərabəri yoxdur, yəqin ki, olmayacaq və biz bu əbədi Qələbə ilə fəxr etməliyik. Gənc nəsil də evlərdə, ailələrdə, məktəblərdə bu ruhda tərbiyə almalıdır ki, biz müzəffər ölkə, xalq kimi bundan sonra qürurla yaşayaq.

On International Jazz Day, pleased to share A Story About Folkjazz: From West to East, a documentary by 🇸🇪 filmmaker Mikael Silkeberg tracing a unique musical dialogue between 🇸🇪 & 🇦🇿, where jazz meets folk traditions, as a universal language connecting cultures across borders.

About the film:

A Story About Folkjazz: From West to East is a 60-minute documentary tracing a remarkable musical dialogue between Sweden and Azerbaijan - two geographically distant countries connected by culture, improvisation, folk memory, and a shared openness to cultural exchange.

The film begins in Stockholm, where Mikael Silkeberg reflects on how, sixty years ago, the Swedish classic Jazz på Svenska by Jan Johansson blended traditional folk melodies - such as “Ack Värmland du sköna” - with jazz improvisation. The album became a cornerstone of Swedish musical identity and remains the best-selling jazz record in Swedish history.

The documentary then turns to a pivotal moment in 1966, when Jan Johansson performed at the Tallinn Jazz Festival and encountered the Azerbaijani pianist Vagif Mustafazadeh. At the time, Mustafazadeh was developing a revolutionary synthesis of jazz and mugham - Azerbaijan’s ancient modal music tradition, distinguished by microtones, complex structures, and deep improvisation. Their meeting, described as taking place in a “parallel universe,” revealed striking affinities between Swedish folk-jazz and Azerbaijani jazz-mugham: distinct musical languages united by form, emotion, and improvisational freedom.

Travelling east, the film arrives in Baku, a historic meeting point between East and West. Azerbaijan’s unique position at the crossroads of civilizations -between Europe and Asia - has profoundly shaped its musical culture. Mugham absorbed these layers over centuries, and when jazz arrived in the 20th century, Baku became fertile ground for fusion. Despite political restrictions during the Soviet era, jazz flourished as a space of artistic freedom, establishing Baku as a renowned “jazz city,” admired for its vibrant festivals and cosmopolitan spirit.

Through visits to the Vagif Mustafazadeh House Museum and conversations with contemporary musicians, the documentary shows how Mustafazadeh’s legacy continues to inspire new generations. Powerful performances by internationally acclaimed Azerbaijani jazz artists - Aziza Mustafazadeh, İsfar Sarabski, Shahin Novrasli, Emil Afrasiyab, Elchin Shirinov, and Etibar Asadli - demonstrate how jazz-mugham remains a living, evolving art form, rooted in tradition yet unmistakably modern.

A Story About Folkjazz: From West to East reveals jazz not merely as a genre, but as a universal language - one that carries cultural identity across borders and connects West and East through shared human expression.
