Opening ceremony of the reconstructed Cultural Center in Khankendi

On May 28, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the opening of the Cultural Center in the city of Khankendi following its major overhaul.

The building of the Cultural Center in Khankendi was originally constructed in the 1960s–1970s. Over long-term use, the load-bearing structures of the building suffered wear, deformation, and various forms of damage.

As part of the comprehensive reconstruction work, the center has been equipped with the necessary facilities to host various cultural and public events, cinema and stage activities, creative workshops, training sessions, rehearsals, administrative operations, and tourism-oriented services. The three-story building includes assembly and cinema halls, a multifunctional area housing various clubs, dressing rooms, a cafeteria, a ticket office, and a souvenir shop. Center’s 348-seat hall will be used for concerts, performances, film screenings, presentations, official meetings, and other cultural events.
