AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Venice Biennale Politics: The European Commission moved to strip the Biennale of a €2 million grant after the Russian pavilion returned, putting EU funding and art diplomacy under a spotlight. Azerbaijan at Venice: Faig Ahmed’s pavilion, “The Attention,” turns Azerbaijani carpet craft into an immersive, tech-coded experience, linking tradition with digital innovation. Karabakh Media & Heritage: Delegates at the IV Shusha Global Media Forum toured Karabakh’s memorial and historical sites, including Khojaly memorials, Victory Park, and Shusha Fortress, framing restoration and “truth” in the region. Council of Europe Tensions: President Ilham Aliyev said Azerbaijan considered suspending or even withdrawing from the Council of Europe, calling PACE demands “unacceptable” and pushing for normalization if the first step comes from them. Women’s Support: Azerbaijan’s Women Helpline nearly doubled requests in H1 2026, with violence and cyberbullying among the most common needs. Culture Policy: A meeting mapped next steps for implementing the “Azerbaijani Culture – 2040” concept across culture, science, and education. Human Rights & Minorities: Reports say Talysh culture researcher Iqbal Abilov faced torture in pre-trial detention; his case may go to the ECHR.
