🌍

Contexto cultural

The color blue in 'Mavi səma' is directly linked to the first stripe of the national flag, representing Turkic identity. It is a source of national pride. Ancient Turks worshipped 'Kök Tanrı' (The Sky God). The sky was seen as a protective, infinite entity, which is why 'Mavi səma' often feels sacred in literature. Baku is known as the 'City of Winds'. When the wind clears the dust, the 'Mavi səma' over the Caspian is a signal for everyone to go to the Boulevard. The use of 'Səma' instead of 'Göy' shows the high-literary influence of Persian and Arabic on Azerbaijani, used to make descriptions sound more sophisticated.
