Opening ceremony of the Khidirli village secondary school named after Aykol Manas

On July 3, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov inaugurated the Khidirli village secondary school named after Aykol Manas in the Aghdam district.

The presidents also viewed a yurta installed in the schoolyard. Easily assembled and dismantled as a mobile dwelling, the yurta is traditionally designed for a nomadic lifestyle. Today, yurta tourism is being developed by many Turkic peoples as a cultural attraction in Central Asia.

The heads of states got acquainted with the conditions created at the school.
