The statue of the world famous American actor Jean-Claude Van Damme in the village of Vandam in the Gabala region was removed.
The mayor of the town, Asif Hashimov, confirmed this information to Ekonomiyyat.az.
According to him, the removal of the statue is related to the construction of the road:
“In connection with the construction of an important highway for the Republic, the statue was removed from there. Because the monument was located in the protection lane of the highway. Therefore, it was removed from that area and will be placed in a place protected.”
It should be noted that several years ago in the village of Vandam a monument to the famous actor Jean-Claude Van Damme was erected. The author of the monument is the famous sculptor Azad Aliyev. In 2019, the Hollywood star thanked Azerbaijan on his Facebook page for installing his statue.
For information, let us inform you that Jean-Claude Van Damme’s son, Christopher Van Barenberg, married the Azerbaijani Suada Hajizadeh in 2021. The wedding of the couple aroused great interest among the Azerbaijani public.
