“The project and sketches have been made. The matter is according to the agreement, a bust is to be elected to Sam Houston in Baku. However, Baku Mayor Hajibala Abutalibov does not want to give a positive response. I touched on this issue during the meeting with the mayor, but he refused saying he is not responsible for that. Therefore, erection of a bust to Nizami Ganjavi in Houston is delayed. I must remind there are busts of genius persons of different nations in Herman Park. These represent these countries. . Why not erect a bust to Nizami Ganjavi there?,†the Association president underlined.
Ms.Akhundova added that Houston Mayor’s Office also agreed to name one of the main streets after Azerbaijan, “They also want to name a central street in Houston after a distinguished person of Azerbaijan.
Houston and Baku were declared sister cities in 1976. /APA
