The Republic of Azerbaijan is located in Southwest Asia between Iran and Russia and borders the Caspian Sea. The president is the chief of state, while the prime minister is the head of government. Although striving to be a democratic nation and an emerging energy producer, political and economic corruption has plagued this young, oil-rich nation.
Previously part of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Azerbaijan became an independent nation for a brief period from 1918 to 1920, then collapsed again into the Soviet Union until 1991 when it achieved independence for the second time. In 1988, tensions arose between the ethnic Armenian people living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani people. This led to the leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh declaring the region an independent Armenian republic. By 1992, tensions turned into violent conflict in this region, with Armenian forces attempting to secure the region between Karabakh and Armenia. Although a ceasefire agreement was signed in 1994, with the Armenian people in control of the Nagorno-Karabakh territory, tension remains along this border.
Azerbaijan has an estimated 9.6 million people (2016). The major religion is Islam. Azerbaijan means “land of fire”, referring to the land fires that occur because of the abundant natural gas and oil deposits in the country. Azerbaijan also boasts the world’s first oil well.
