Rustam str., 33, AZ1072, Baku, Azerbaijan After Azerbaijan gained independence, relations with Greece began to develop successfully. Greece is one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Azerbaijan. This article exam- ines the dynamics of humanitarian ties between Azerbaijan and Greece. Cultural relations always play a crucial role in the development of bilateral relations. The expansion of cultural ties between Greece and Azerbaijan has a positive impact on other areas as well. Humanitarian relations play an important role in bilateral relations. The paper also outlines the main directions of humanitarian relations between Azerbaijan and Greece. Special attention is paid to the events held in Greece with the aim of promoting the culture and rich heritage of Azerbaijan. It is noted that various concerts, cultural days, book exhi- bitions, and country presentations help bring peoples and cultures closer together. The article provides a possible classification of the ways of cooperation in the cultural and political context between Azerbai- jan and Greece. The influence of the signed agreements and adopted programs between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of the Hellenic Republic, which formed the main legal basis of bilateral humanitarian relations, is studied.

WELCOME TO THE SNOW POLO ST. MORITZ TOUCH Allegra and welcome back to the unique natural arena that is the frozen Lake St. Moritz! Here, the majestically beautiful nature of the Engadine has shown us that regardless of where we come from, we all share the basic human instinct and desire to bond with others. For all the exciting changes that technology has brought us, what remains unchanged is that we are all wired to connect. Bringing people together from all four corners of the world is what we have been doing year after year, since 1985! Beyond being a celebration of the sport of polo at its best, the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz is indeed a celebration of friendship and cross-cultural exchange. A passion for hospitality and a strong desire to connect with our guests is ingrained in our team of over 100 professionals and volunteers that make this event happen. We very much hope that the moments we share together in this fantastic natural paradise – indulging in watching the superb polo as much as the social events off the field – will remind us in the best possible way that we all are not scripted, not programmed, but simply human.
