"Stone Dreams" novel-requiem by Akram Aylisli published in Armenian

YEREVAN, APRIL 11, ARMENPRESS. "Stone Dreams" novel-requiem by Azerbaijani author Akram Aylisli telling about the massacres of the Armenian population in Azerbaijan was published in Armenian. Artak Vardanyan translated the novel into Armenian. Aram Ananyan authored the preface of the book. The publication was edited by Seyranuhi Geghamyan. The book was published in "Graber" publishing house. It's noteworthy that the translator was born in Nakhichevan. The title page of the book was illustrated by Lusik Aguletsi.  

The book caused a lot of noise and hysteria in Azerbaijan. On February 7, 2013, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a presidential decree that stripped Aylisli of the title of "People's Writer" and the presidential pension. Earlier, Aylisli confirmed reports that his son, a customs official, and wife were dismissed from their jobs. Hafiz Haciyev, the leader of the pro-government political party Muasir Musavat (Modern Equality), said his party would pay $13,000 to anyone who would cut Aylisli's ear off. Aylisli was born in the village of Aylis in 1937 in the Ordubad region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. He received his higher education at the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in Moscow. His first work, a poem entitled "Qeşem ve onun Kürekeni", was published in the journal Azerbaycan. From 1968-70, he became the editor-in-chief of Gençlik, and later worked as a satirist for the journal Mozalan. From 1974-78, he served on the Azerbaijan SSR's State Committee for Cinematography.
