APAâ€™s Moscow correspondent reports that Leyla Aliyeva, editor-in-chief of the magazine, vice-president of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, head of Azerbaijani Youth Organization of Russia, founder of the International Dialogue for Environmental Action (IDEA) and Mikhail Gusman, Deputy Director General of ITAR-TASS agency, attended the press conference.

â€œThe first edition of the English version of the magazine has been published. It was not easy to publish this version, it took four years to do it. The English version of the magazine is not the translation of the Russian version. It would have been easy, if it had been translation. We believe that this version will be as successful as the Russian version,â€ she said.

â€œThe goal of the magazine is not only to inform the English-speaking readers about the ancient culture, rich history, beautiful and wise customs of the ancient Land of Fire, but also to inform them about the modern lifestyle of the Azerbaijanis. â€œBakuâ€ magazine will help the world to rediscover Azerbaijan and its capital, find out the most secret and good features of its people,â€ she said.
