TEHRAN (IQNA) – An exhibition of Quranic cultural and art works is slated to be mounted in Kirkuk, northern Iraq, on Wednesday.

People have been invited to visit the expo, which will run until January 3.

It will be organized with the cooperation of cultural institutes of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
