Infused with moral value, artistic effect and national identity, your monumental works of art provide a successful harmony of architecture and sculpture for the Azerbaijani school of fine arts, which is rich in traditions. Having spared no efforts to promote our national and moral values for many years, you have decently promoted Azerbaijani sculpture worldwide and won high praise of art lovers.
