The Azerbaijan Portal

A view ofBaku, Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan, officially theRepublic of Azerbaijan, is atranscontinental andlandlocked country at the boundary of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. It is a part of theSouth Caucasus region and is bounded by theCaspian Sea to the east, Russia's republic ofDagestan to the north,Georgia to the northwest,Armenia andTurkey to the west, andIran to the south.Baku is the capital and largest city.

The territory of what is now Azerbaijan was ruled first byCaucasian Albania and later by variousPersian empires. Until the 19th century, it remained part ofQajar Iran, but the Russo-Persian wars of1804–1813 and1826–1828 forced the Qajar Empire to cede its Caucasian territories to theRussian Empire; the treaties ofGulistan in 1813 andTurkmenchay in 1828 defined the border between Russia and Iran. The region north of theAras was part of Iran until it was conquered by Russia in the 19th century, where it was administered as part of theCaucasus Viceroyalty.

Azerbaijan is aunitary semi-presidential republic. It is one of six independent Turkic states and an active member of theOrganization of Turkic States and theTÜRKSOY community. Azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 182 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations, including the United Nations, theCouncil of Europe, theNon-Aligned Movement, theOSCE, and theNATO PfP program. It is one of the founding members ofGUAM, theCommonwealth of Independent States, and theOPCW. Azerbaijan is an observer state of theWorld Trade Organization. (Full article...)

TheBattle of Kalbajar took place in March and April 1993, during theFirst Nagorno-Karabakh War. It resulted in the capture of theKalbajar District ofAzerbaijan byArmenian military forces.

Kalbajar lies outside the contested enclave of the formerNagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO). The offensive was the first time Armenian forces from Nagorno-Karabakh had advanced beyond the boundaries of the enclave (besides the capture ofLachin in 1992). Kalbajar District, located between Armenia and the western border of the former NKAO, was composed of several dozen villages and its provincial capital, also namedKalbajar. The Armenian side launched an attack from four directions, including Armenia proper. After initial heavy resistance, the Azerbaijani defence quickly collapsed and the provincial capital fell on April 3, 1993. Armenian forces captured an area of more than 1,900 square kilometres, establishing a second overland link between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. (Full article...)
