Like many people of my generation who is not originally russian, but was destined to born and grow up in the former Soviet Union, I grew up bilingual.
The secondary school, the University degree in Economics, military service in vicinity of Sankt Petersburg - thereby altogether more than 25 years of continuous study in russian language.
So that at the moment it's really hard to define what is my native language. Azerbaijani, the language of my parents or russian one, which is my preferable tool in getting of every kind of knowledge. Thereafter were several courses of english language by British council and those of italian both in Azerbaijan and in Italy. To perfect them was just matter of technique and diligence. At the moment I am carried away by german language.

For last ten years I have been done a huge volume of daily translation from english and italian into russian and azerbaijani languages and vice versa being in secretariat of several italian ambassadors to Azerbaijan. Main subjects of those translations are intergovernmental and interstate correspondence, economic projects relevant to various fields of economy.

Although I'm not graduated in linguistic, in my strong opinion to execute a job of translator/interpreter one has to have certain devotion, which I have.
