In the spring and summer of 2006, we made up our minds to organize the Assembly of Science and Art, to open up any important question for discussion regardless of its field. We decided to listen to lectures by one or two specialists at each assembly, put them on the hot seat for questions, listen to audience comments, and then to print the lectures and discussions in the Khazar Review journal and finally as collections in book form. On October 10^th, 2006, the first assembly was held in the Khazar University Conference Center. We began to invite scholars and artists from Azerbaijan and abroad to give lectures. Our Assembly of Science and Art became well-known and loved in a short time.
