They then posed for a picture with the members of Mrs Aliyeva's family accompanying her.
Mehriban Aliyeva and her daughter Leyla Aliyeva, together with the First Lady of Uzbekistan Ziroatkhon Mirziyoyeva and their daughters Saida and Shakhnoza Mirziyoyeva, visited the Center for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent.
The center was established by the decision of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The center, which covers an area of more than ten hectares, was built in the style of ancient architectural monuments of the city of Samarkand. There is also a 65-meter-high dome. The center has several departments, including the department for maintaining the national register of rare manuscripts, a manuscript fund, a library and archives. Items from various historical periods, as well as works, are presented here. The creative potential of ancestors is demonstrated with the help of modern technologies and digital devices. The center's building houses a library with 100 thousand manuscripts and more than 1 million books. The museum exposition here consists of halls called "Pre-Islamic civilizations", "The First Renaissance", "The Second Renaissance", "Uzbekistan in the 20th century", "New Uzbekistan - the basis of the Third Renaissance" and "The Holy Quran".
