Azerbaijan straddles the border between Europe and Asia in the Caucasus region with an east coast on the Caspian Sea. It borders Russia to the north, Georgia and Armenia to the west, and Iran (proper) to the south.

Azerbaijan was divided between the Russian Empire and the Persian Empire by the Treaty of Ghulistan in 1813. As such not all of Azerbaijan is inside the independent Republic of Azerbaijan (independent from Russia* since 1992).

Currently Azerbaijan is divided between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan. The larger portion of Azerbaijan currently lies within the borders of Iran and this Iranian administered area is divided into thee provinces, namely; East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Ardabil.

*Note - the Russian Empire was called the U.S.S.R. between about 1922 and 1992.

Asked by Wiki User

Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is situated on the Caspian Sea. In terms of the fleet, Azerbaijan is the second to Russia only in the Caspian basin. In addition to the existing port in Baku, Azerbaijan has signed a deal with South Korea's GS Engineering & Construction for Baku International Trade Seaport Project which aims to build a new trade port in Alat, a suburban area near Baku.

The project will have three overlapping phases- 2008-2011, 2011-2013 and 2012-2015. There will be 11 berths, of which 6 will be constructed at the first phase.

The port will handle 11.6 million tons of cargo in 2015. wwwelminmail@gmail.com

Region attempted to gain independence from azerbaijan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yep there is an Armenian speaking region that attempted to gain independence from Azerbaijan after the dissolution of the Soviet Union (USSR). However Azerbaijan only wanted independence for itself, and did not want to easily let go of its territory.
The region did break off and it is fully supported by Armenia, however it is not recognized by any country including Armenia.

It is sad to see countries who used to be one are now against each other. the peace process is long long away.

Why is Armenia attacking Azerbaijan?

User Avatar

Asked by Ljustice77

Actually Armenia is not attacking Azerbaijan right now. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union (USSR), there was a disagreement between the Azerbaijani SSR and the Armenian SSR over a land inside Azerbaijan where most of the population was Armenian. The people of this region wanted to join Armenia, while Azerbaijan didn't want to give up its territory. This resulted in a war between the two countries, and in the end the region broke off from Azerbaijan, and is being supported by Armenia. However ever country (including Armenia) considers those lands as part of Azerbaijan.

It should be noted that, when the Soviet Union ended, the republics (including Azerbaijan) wanted independence, but Azerbaijan was not willing to give the same independence to this Armenian speaking region. It is true however that this land used to belong 100% to Azeris, and the residents were Azeri. But over the years the population shifted to mostly Armenian. It is sad to see that two countries who used to be one are now fighting each other. Many Armenians used to peacefully live in Azerbaijan, and vise-versa. Tragedy.

The war was very bloody, and both soviet republics ended up killing innocent civilians. This is why the peace process is taking very long.

Is Azerbaijan a third world country?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The terms "first world", "second world", and "third world" are obsolete relics of the Cold War. "First world" means the developed democratic countries like the United States and Great Britain, "second world" means the communist countries behind the Iron Curtain, and "third world" means the poor countries. Since there's no longer an Iron Curtain, there's no second world and the system is now meaningless. Some have seen fit to retain the system by classifying the former communist countries as the second world. As it used to be part of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan would be a second-world country under this definition.
