In 1991, in an editorial cartoon appeared on the pages of the Washington Post, the White House officer for the relationships with Azerbaijan; speaking on the phone to his wife; asks her: «Darling, do you know where Azerbaijan is?» From now then, years of cooperation with the American political system and of a fruitful negotiation that followed the Nine Eleven events, confirmed that the Azerbaijani ambassador in the US is representing a country making its way towards the international scenery being conscious of its strategic role in the Caucasian area.

The first Azerbaijani ambassador in Washington has the delicate task of inventing Azerbaijani diplomacy in the US. His story – straightforward and document-based, but also ironic and funny – is focused on thirteen years of difficulties and victories lived by him, as spokesman of a Caucasian state which has been for so long ignored by the American superpower.
