The value of peace and unity is glorified

A cultural event dedicated to interethnic harmony was held at the Berdakh Karakalpak State Academic Musical Theater. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev took part in it.

This institution with almost a century of history occupies a worthy place in the development of art, education of youth and cultural life of the republic. In recent years, the theater has been renovated, the equipment has been updated. In 2017, it was awarded the status of an academic theater.

Here, the head of our state, together with representatives of the older generation and artists, watched the art program.

Representatives of many nationalities live in Karakalpakstan. Their life in friendship and harmony became the central theme of the event. Excerpts from folk poems, Karakalpak songs "Chagall", "Dembermes", "Nigarym" were performed, samples of works by Alisher Navoi, Berdakh, Makhtumkuli and Abai were recited. Having performed the poem of the Hero of Uzbekistan Ibrahim Yusupov "Tugishganlik" and the song "Uzbekistan" written on his poems, the artists sang the value of interethnic harmony, unity and peace.

The President had a conversation with Karakalpak artists and representatives of the cultural sphere in the theater. He highly appreciated the art program.

Uzbeks and Karakalpaks are one people with two languages. Living side by side for centuries, they became friends and brothers, one people. Today they are walking together on the path of peaceful development and prosperity of the country. The embodiment of this can be seen not only on stage, but also in our lives.

During the conversation, the importance of expanding the repertoire of theaters with works glorifying these values, conducting tours, returning young people to theaters and enriching their culture was emphasized.
