Iran converts historical Azeri estates to museums

The houses of the personalities include those of Azeri poet, Parvin E'tesami and political activist, Sheikh Mohammad Khiabani.

Parvin Etesami (1906-1941) was a prominent Persian poet of the 20th century. She managed to achieve great fame among Iranian readers despite living only for 35 years.

Sheikh Mohammad Khiabani (1880- 1920) was a cleric and a member of the parliament who became a prominent figure during the Constitutional Revolution (1905-1911).

Reza Ebadi, the director of Azerbaijan's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization, said the project is underway and is expected to finish by 2010. SHL/BH
