In late July 2026 Azerbaijan opened the 5th National Summer (Yaylaq) Festival in Göygöl’s “Xan Yurdu” ethno‑village, honoring former leader Heydar Aliyev and martyrs while highlighting President Ilham Aliyev’s policies on national identity, regional development, and tourism. The opening ceremony included a minute of silence, remarks by regional executive Vüqar Novruzov and Youth and Sports Minister Farid Ghayibov, and a concert program, underscoring the festival’s role as an international platform for cultural heritage and tourism promotion. A week later, the State Committee on Diaspora Affairs and the Heydar Aliyev Foundation held the 7th Diaspora Youth Summer Camp in Zangilan, drawing over 120 participants from 64 countries to learn about the region’s history and culture and to equip diaspora youth with factual information for representation abroad. These coordinated events illustrate the Azerbaijani government’s ongoing effort to promote cultural heritage, boost tourism, and engage the diaspora, reinforcing national identity and international outreach under President Aliyev’s leadership. No further related developments have been reported since the August 2‑8 camp.
