BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 26. A photo exhibition
by world-renowned photographer Reza Deghati dedicated to the
Khojaly genocide was presented at the Malta Biennale.
“After a busy season filled with exhibitions, conferences,
interviews, and meetings across Europe and America, I am delighted
to return to Azerbaijan once again. Each of these events has been
another important step toward bringing the truth about Azerbaijan
to the international community. As always, this journey has not
been an easy one. I will certainly share with you the challenges I
had to overcome at a later time,” Deghati said.
According to him, it was a great honor to take part in the Malta
Biennale, where, alongside more than 400 representatives of the
global art community, he presented a large-scale photo exhibition
in the historic center of Valletta.
“It was a particular source of pride for me that the President
of the Republic of Malta, Myriam Spiteri Debono, personally visited
my exhibition. The event was also attended by the Director of the
Biennale, the head of the Malta Arts Council, and representatives
of the media,” the photographer said.
Deghati emphasized that the opportunity to present the truth
about Khojaly on such a prestigious international platform and to
witness the respect shown for the subject was one of the most
memorable moments of his life.
“Presenting the truth about Khojaly in such an important venue
and seeing the profound respect shown for this subject has been one
of the most unforgettable and proudest moments of my life,” he
added.
