Publisher's Synopsis
""Azerbaijan: A Country Study"" is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, geography, economy, politics, and society of Azerbaijan. Written by the Federal Research Division, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the country's past and present, as well as its future prospects. It covers a wide range of topics, including the country's geography and climate, its ethnic and linguistic diversity, its political system and foreign relations, its economy and natural resources, and its social and cultural life. The book also includes a detailed bibliography and a glossary of terms, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in learning more about Azerbaijan.The Soviet Union created the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region within Azerbaijan in 1924, when over 94 percent of the region's population was Armenian (see fig. 3). (The term Nagorno-Karabakh originates from the Russian for ""mountainous Karabakh."") As the Azerbaijani population grew, the Karabakh Armenians chafed under discriminatory rule, and by 1960 hostilities had begun between the two populations of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
