AZERBAIJAN? It is a small country on the western shore of Asia’s Caspian Sea. It is a little smaller in area than Maine, and contains 9.4 million people. The country is 93% Muslim and its people are called Azeris. Azerbaijan in Roman times was popu- lated by Scythians, a fierce, warlike tribe. In the 11th century it was overrun by Muslim Turks from Central Asia, and as a result, still speaks the Turkish language. In the early 19th century the country was conquered by Russia. With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Azerbaijan became independent and instituted a Republic. It is a modern state with almost total literacy. Azerbaijan has been blessed with huge oil and gas deposits beneath the Caspian Sea. These were coveted by the Nazis during WW2, but they never reached Baku, the capital city, which was the outlet for the oil. The completion of the oil pipeline from Baku to Tbilisi (Georgia) to Ceyhan on the Turkish Mediterranean coast in 2005, transformed the nation’s economy, and made it prosperous.
