Türkiye's Consul General in Ganja, Recep Oztop, attended the gala performance of “Ali and Nino” at the Ganja State Drama Theatre.
Photographs published by the Consulate General show a group photo in the theatre foyer, the auditorium and scenes from the performance, with actors in historical costumes appearing against sets featuring oil derricks.

The troupe that moved from Baku
The troupe of the Ganja State Drama Theatre was established in Baku on November 13, 1921, and moved to Ganja, Azerbaijan's second-largest city, in December 1932.
The performance is named after Kurban Said's renowned novel “Ali and Nino,” first published in German in Vienna in 1937. The book is set in Baku and centers on the love story of Azerbaijani Ali Khan Shirvanshir and Georgian Nino Kipiani.
