A sculpture of a Karabakh horse has been unveiled at the CICA headquarters in Astana. The artwork was installed at the initiative of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to mark CICA Day. Established at Kazakhstan’s initiative, CICA is celebrating its 34th anniversary this year and entering a new stage of development. Four years ago, at a summit in the Kazakh capital, a decision was made to begin transforming CICA into a fully-fledged international organization. The results of this work will be presented at the seventh CICA summit in Baku on October 15. The summit will also mark the end of Azerbaijan’s chairmanship of CICA.
«During this period, significant work has been carried out across CICA’s five areas of activity. In particular, the environmental and climate agenda has been further advanced. Youth and women’s councils have been established, along with other new initiatives,» said Kairat Sarybay, CICA Secretary General.
«The Karabakh horse, and horses in general, symbolize courage and bravery for us, for Azerbaijanis. It is a symbol of brotherhood between our countries and among the CICA member states,» said Alimirzamin Askerov, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Kazakhstan.
