UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2009 URL: www.unesco.org Description: The art of Azerbaijani Ashiqs combines poetry, storytelling, dance and vocal and instrumental music into a traditional performance art that stands as a symbol of Azerbaijani culture. Characterized by the accompaniment of the ''saz,'' a stringed musical instrument, the classical repertoire includes 200 songs, 150 literary-musical compositions known as ''dastans,'' nearly 2000 poems in different traditional poetic forms and numerous stories. The regional variations may include other musical instruments, but all are united by a common national language and artistic history. Ashiqs take part in weddings, friendly parties and festive events throughout the Caucasus and appear on concert stages, radio and television, sometimes synthesizing classical melodies with contemporary ones as they continue to recreate their repertoire. Their art is considered an emblem of national identity and the guardian of Azerbaijani language, literature and music. Even as Ashiqs represent the consciousness of a people, they also help to promote cultural exchange and dialogue: Kurds, Lezhins, Talishes, Tats and other ethnic groups living in the country often perform the Ashiqs art, and their poems and songs have spread across the region.

Film by "Research on Armenian Architecture" The film shows history of Armenian city and cemetery of Julfa or Jugha, currently known as Old Jugha. The city had up to 10000 khachkar (cross-stones) cemetery, included in UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Since 1921 Nakhichevan, where the city was located was included in newly founded Azerbaijan by Soviet official. Since late 1990s destruction of the cemetery started by Azerbaijan, ended in 2005, when the khachkar field was completely bulldozed. Up today UNESCO didn't make a single statement condemning Azerbaijan. Up today UNESCO officials usually visit Azerbaijan and granted prizes and medals from Azerbaijani official for building strong ties between UNESCO and Azerbaijan. The cemetery is still included in UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list.

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2010 URL: www.unesco.org Description: The Azerbaijani carpet is a traditional handmade textile of various sizes, with dense texture and a pile or pile-less surface, whose patterns are characteristic of Azerbaijan's many carpet-making regions. Carpet making is a family tradition transferred orally and through practice. Men shear sheep in spring and autumn, while women collect dyestuffs and spin and dye yarn in the spring, summer and autumn. The weaving is undertaken during winter by the female members of the extended family, girls learning from their mothers and grandmothers and wives assisting their mothers-in-law. The carpet is made on horizontal or vertical looms using multi-coloured wool, cotton or silk yarn coloured with natural dyes. Applying special techniques to create pile carpets, weavers knot the pile yarn around threads of the warp; pile-less carpets are variously made with interlacing structural warps, wefts, and patterning wefts. The cutting of a finished carpet from the loom is an unusually solemn celebration. Carpet weaving is closely connected with the daily life and customs of the communities involved, its role reflected in the meaning of the designs and their applications. Thus, girls seated on carpets tell fortunes and sing traditional songs at Novruz (the regional New Year). The carpet is widely used for home furniture and decoration, and special carpets are woven for medical ...

He has been passionate about mugham since his early childhood, but initially Qasimov sang mugham solely for his own enjoyment. Only at the age of nineteen, after having held various jobs as an agricultural worker and driver, did he decide to pursue a career in music. Qasimov studied at the Asaf Zeynalli Music College (1978-1982) and the Azerbaijan University of Arts (1982-1989). His teacher was well-known mugham singer Aghakhan Abdullayev. Qasimov's first remarkable international success occurred in 1988 when he won first prize at the International Festival and Symposium on Traditional Music in Samargand, Uzbekistan. Since then, he has been traveling worldwide to spread the art of Azerbaijani mugham. Alim appears on 12 CDs released in Europe and the United States, on one of them, Love's Deep Ocean (1999, Network Medien, Frankfurt, Germany) together with his daughter and ...

Speaking at the presentation chief of department of information and public analysis of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, Elnur Aslanov, stressed the importance of preparing such materials promoting the rich cultural and material heritage of the Azerbaijani Republic. "The presentation of this film is a very positive fact since materials promote popularization of our country, bringing the true information about our traditions, rich cultural heritage, places of interest and people to the attention of the international audience. Thanks to the policy of President Ilham Aliyev today Azerbaijan is developing dynamically. Not only Baku but also the regions are becoming more beautiful and this all is necessary to be demonstrated not only to the internal audience but also outside Azerbaijan", Aslanov said. He noted that each of us should be active in such initiatives in issues of bringing positive and true information about Azerbaijan and its people to the attention of the world community since the Armenian side is trying to maximally misinform it about the issues related to Azerbaijan. "I hope this project will become a kind of a start to a great series of such films about Azerbaijan", Aslanov concluded. The presentation of the film "About Azerbaijan" was devoted to May 28- Day of Republic. The film is made by ASG Production (USA) and GA Studio (Azerbaijan). The film director is Anar ...

Powered by www.eurovision.tv. Azerbaijani carpets stand out for their pattern and colour. Each knot has it own meaning and philosophy. The Azerbaijani carpet is a phenomenon emerging from contacts between man and nature. The carpet is closely connected with the way of life, customs and traditions of Azerbaijan. With their history going back to the Middle Ages, Azerbaijani carpets have been woven of wool, silk and even gold and silver threads. The Azerbaijani carpet was added to the Intangible Heritage Lists of UNESCO in November, 2010.
