I have an upcoming trip, later this month, that includes a short (1-1/2 hour) stopover in Heydar Aliyev (Baku) airport. Having never been to Azerbaijan before, I'd like to be able to pick up some kind of local souvenirs there for my family (even if just the typical airport-shop knickknacks with the name of the country on them).

Are there such shops there that are accessible to transfer passengers (without going through passport control, which would require a visa, which I don't have)?

The airport had a huge renovation in 2013, so things are a bit hectic there.

I believe you're flying with AZAL (Azerbaijan Airlines), so you should be in the new fancy terminal. I was there this summer, and there was a shop after passport control (and hence in the transit area, in front of the gates) where you could buy souvenirs.
