TEHRAN -- The first edition of “Khayyam and Putin”, a book published in Kazan, was sold out a week after its release.

The book contains Russian translation of President Vladimir Putin’s favorite quatrains by Omar Khayyam, great poet of Persian classical literature, Russia’s Regnum News reported last week.

In addition, the book comprises the texts of Putin’s interviews with several Russian and foreign mass media about his love and respect for Omar Khayyam.

“In my free time I study works by Omar Khayyam”, Putin has said in answering a question about his spare time.

The book has been published by the World Public Forum Dialogue of Civilizations in Tatarstan with one thousand copies.

The institution plans to publish the second edition of the work in the near future.
