The representative photographic exhibition "Directions" of the State Institute for Culture to the Minister of Foreign Affairs is arranged on the occasion of the global week for harmonious interreligious relations, which is celebrated in February by a decision of the UN General Assembly, since 2011. The decisions of the General Assembly on the occasion of this global initiative are related to the promotion of the culture of peace and non-violence, cultural mutual understanding, harmony and cooperation between people.
