Front cover: "The Carpeted Road" by Faig Gambarov (1968- ) oil on canvas, 1997. The artist says: "I am trying to transfer my love for the city in which I was born and raised. The charm of the 'Inner City' (Ichari Shahar) is my inspiration as it has stood the test of centuries. As a painter, I exist between the old and the contemporary. I want to make a revolution with my brush and palette. Studio: (99-412) 76-26-66; Home: 32-93-30.

Back cover: The doors and entrances of Baku's residences, especially those dating to the Oil Baron period (1885-1920) are rare works of art. It's rare to find two alike. They symbolize Eastern affinity for ornament and intricacy.

Special Features in this issue - For the first time in the history of our magazine, we include the Azeri Latin on the WEB. Check out the article, "Sociolinguistically Speaking - Saying Hello in Azeri." Azeri is in red as spoken in the Republic and in green as spoken in Iran.
