I think the photos where too big I cannot send even one photograph As to the current situation it is a diversion from internal problems in Russia Iran and Turkey The hatred is century old by Armenians being Christians Orthodox and Azeri’s Sunni Muslims Stalin to suppress any independent state aspiration teared the country apart giving half to what is now Iran with the historic city of Tabriz one of the oldest cities in the world and cutting off part of Azerbaijan for Armenia Was there in March 2007 invited by the Azeri Government and Central bank designing a mortgage program for young professional couples (they received loans for this program from IFC insured by MIGA) and also it was the start of renewable energy and wind turbines and I assisted them with this also - Baku has a lot of wind due to the Caucasus mountains see also slideshare.net Was received with great respect attaching me a translator and a driver with a BMW 740 The Rector of one of the Universities also took me out for dinners in fancy places to better understand my proposals. He was a member of Russian Academy of Science and UNESCO member. Was invited to the uncle of the Azeri president as he had western education, to his summer house in the Caucasus Mountains and they made a festive meal with other high ranking administrators by slaughtering of a poor sheep. They prepared a great long table, and the uncle an architect of about 80 years old after discussing business convinced that the Azeri wine is the best even better than French wines. I asked why is he so confident he said; "Every morning I kiss a beautiful young Azeri woman, and right away I kiss the grapes so that they should be ripe in time as the beautiful young Azeri woman." A important quote I remeber told by a younger official - We are Azeris but Muslems by the power of the Sword - meaning they did not convert to Islam frely but under the Islamic rule that a conquered nation should convert to Islam or face cutting his head of by the sword. This happen to a lot of crusaders when the Kingdom of Jerusalem was taken over by Salach a Din en.wikipedia.org Of course I agreed and pointed to a young woman that was serving the dishes.Excellent food and deserts from real fresh forest berries At the time it was still a man’s only encounter.
