"AZgallery has been created by Azerbaijan International (AI) magazine to help provide a venue for Azerbaijani artists to become known in the international community.  As yet, most artists in Azerbaijan don't have personal computers to create their own websites so we decided to help out because we love their art and have often featured it in the pages of our magazine.  We would encourage you to get to know the artists personally and, if you get a chance, to visit them in their studios in Baku.  They welcome your friendship.

"Azerbaijan International magazine was founded in 1993 and has been available on the internet since 1996 at http://AZER.com (link at bottom of page).   AI is targeted for an international audience of English readers to fill the void about Azerbaijan brought on by the information blockade during the Soviet period (1920-1991).  Today, during the country's transition to independence and a market economy, artists, who once were used to receiving government sponsorship, are struggling to find their own resources and clientele.  We feel they deserve the support of the international community.

"AI magazine introduces a wide range of topics about Azerbaijan including art, music, folklore, architecture, contemporary history, social issues, business and oil.  Most articles in the published version are also accessible on the internet . . . making Azerbaijan International's website the largest in the world dedicated to Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan International magazine is the only independent English language magazine in the world devoted to issues related to Azerbaijanis.  It seeks to provide a forum for discussion and thought on a wide range of subjects including art, business, culture, education, international relations, language, literature, current events, traditions, and trends."
