We were honoured to host the Honorary Consul for the Republic of Azerbaijan in Dublin Mr. Terry Leyden, his wife Mary, Mr. Reshad Vahabzade (Counsellor), Mr. Kamal Binyatli (Consular Officer), and Mr. Poland Mammadli (First Secretary) of the Embassy of Azerbaijan in London and Ireland <\/strong>for a visit to the James Joyce Centre on February 28th 2025 at 4pm<\/strong>. We presented to Mr. Vahabzade a sample of the first Azerbaijani translation of Ulysses <\/em>by Joyce scholar and Trinity College Dublin graduate Dr. Halila Bayramova<\/strong>. The translation is forthcoming and will be published by Qanun Publishing<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Vahabzade presented us with an Azerbaijani carpet and an anthology of Azerbaijani poetry translated into English. One of the poets featured in the anthology is Mr. Vahabzade’s father, Bakhtiyar Vahabzade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The James Joyce Centre was delighted to foster this special literary and cultural exchange between Azerbaijan and Ireland. We hope it will expand relations between our two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
