According to sources in the Foundation, the project was highlighted in leading US newspapers as Newsday, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, The Miami Herald, San Jose Mercury News, United Press International, The Columbus Dispatch, The Sacramento Bee and Indianapolis Business Journal.

The project of the Karabakh Foundation is aimed at familiarizing the English-speaking audience with the creative activity of the great poet of the East Nizami Ganjavi, primarily through publication of his manuscripts online, as well as expansion of scientific discussions about his creative activity in the West.

Nearly 50 manuscripts of Nizami were presented at the exhibition 'Heritage of the Azerbaijani poet of the 12th century' which was held in the United States in December.

The Karabakh Foundation which is implementing the project is aimed at broadening the understanding of the cultural heritage and traditions of Azerbaijan and the Karabakh region, as well as the entire Caucasus in the United States.

Nizami Ganjavi's works have become a peak in the Oriental Renaissance in literature, while reflecting the humanistic, sociopolitical, social and moral  values of his epoch.

Nizami contributed to the broad dissemination of the issue of love and generally accepted ideals in the literature of Middle East. Describing love for the first time from the philosophic standpoint, he linked this concept to the freedom of expression and conscience.

Nizami is famous worldwide for his legendary Khamsa, including five poems-'The Treasury of Mysteries', 'Khosrov and Shirin', 'Leyli and Majnun', 'Seven beauties' and 'Iskandarname'.
