For the installation of statues of Muslim Magomayev and Tofig Guliyev, geological work is planned in these areas.

The statement came from the Ministry of Culture in response to APA's inquiry.

"Once the geological work is completed, the process of installing the statues will begin," the statement said.

It should be noted that President Ilham Aliyev signed an order to perpetuate the memory of Muslim Mahammad oglu Magomayev in 2020 and Tofig Alakbar oglu Guliyev in 2021.

According to the order, a statue of Tofig Guliyev will be erected in Baku, a monument to Muslim Magomayev in the Seaside Boulevard (near the Puppet Theater named after Abdulla Shaig).

People's Artist Omar Eldarov was commissioned to make a monument to Muslim Magomayev, and sculptor Tural Rzaguliyev was commissioned to make a statue of Tofig Guliyev.
