"Leili and Majoon" is an immortal love story sometimes compared to "Romeo and Juliet"
though it predates Shakespeare in oral tradition by more than 1,000 years.
Today, it is still one of the most popular epics of the Middle East
and Central Asia among Arabs, Turks, Persians, Afghans, Tajiks, Kurds,
Indians, Pakistanis, and, of course Azerbaijanis.
