Baku. Lachin Sultanova â€“ APA. â€œManifest of an Ambassadorâ€ by Hafiz Pashayev, rector of the Diplomatic Academy under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, was presented on Friday. The book was published in Russian. Pashayev said in the ceremony that the Azerbaijani version of the book was published recently, APA reports. â€œThe idea to publish the book in Russian came when I visited a book shop near the Azerbaijani embassy in Moscow. There was no book about Azerbaijan and this fact forced me to come to this conclusion. A well-known Russian journalist told me â€œDo you really think that they know Azerbaijan in Russia? It is time to popularize Azerbaijan in Russiaâ€. The young generations after USSR collapse donâ€™t know Azerbaijanâ€. He thanked Russian editor of the book Siyavush Mammadzadeh and translator Eldar Ismayilov. Siyavush Mammadzadeh called the Russian version of the book an important publication. â€œIt was a discovery for me. I knew scientist-physicist Hafiz Pashayev, but now I discovered him as an outstanding diplomatâ€. Academician Vasim Mammadaliyev called the book a substantial, completed and rich collection.
