MUMBAI: The BBC has relaunched its BBC Azeri website - bbcazeri.com, which has been redesigned and expanded to offer news summaries and features. Azeri speakers across the world will now have access to the BBC news and current affairs summaries in their own language.

Bbcazeri.com publishes highlights from the BBC Azeri morning and evening news programmes, both in text and audio. Also all BBC Azeri radio transmissions will be made available on demand.

In addition, the site offers up-to-date weather reports for major cities in Azerbaijan, neighbouring regional countries and across the world.

As well as content in the Azeri language, bbcazeri.com gives access to in-depth stories and information on the BBC's international English news site and provides links to the BBC's English-language learning material.

While the site is readily available to online users with Windows XP browsing system, users with other browsing systems will need to download the fonts when they first go to the site.

BBC Azeri head Azer Khalilov said, "As we are preparing to mark the 10th anniversary of BBC Azeri service, the relaunch of bbcazeri.com in a new format and with expanded content is a next step in making our service a true communications hub for all Azeri-speakers, wherever they are."
