Azerbaijan
Culture of Azerbaijan
The cultural heritage of Azerbaijan is grand and distinctive. Since Azerbaijan used to be a part of Persian and Turkic states its cultural development was greatly influenced by those. It is particularly noticeable in literature and music.
Alcoholic Drinks in Azerbaijan
Despite being nominally a nation of Shiite Muslims, more than 160 years of Russian presence have left Azerbaijan with strong taste for alcohol.
The Azerbaijani wedding
The wedding is one of the most beautiful and richest embodiments of the spiritual values of Azerbaijan. Here the ‘wedding’ actually means the last stage in the modern process of marriage, the final celebration with a dinner-dance.
