Greetings
Please, how do you say ‘business man’? Here in Turkey, a lot of people say that the word you use is ‘pezevenk’, which in the Turkish of Turkey means ‘pimp’.
However, I can imagine that this may be an urban myth; people here have strange ideas about Azeri.
Best wishes, and many thanks,
Simon

iş adamı
"iş adamı" or merely "biznesmen". "Pezevenk" definitely has another meaning.
