In this page I would like to give some
information about my country.
Information about dividing of Azerbaijan
areas into two parts after 1828
year. Distributing of Azerbaijan areas between Iran,
Russia, Dagistan,
Georgia. Creating of Armenian state due to
Azerbaijan areas (in azeri language).
Azerbaijan is a geographical name. On the one hand this name is linked with
the population, which lived in this region for thousand of years before our era,
and who were mostly fire-worshippers. Local population considered that fire was
their God and so they worshipped the fire. "Azer" means fire. The Turkic name "Azer"
was used for this territory for a long time. The word "Azer" consists of two
parts - "az" and "er". In Turkic languages, "az" means a good intention and a
fate of success. Thus, the word "Azer" means "a brave man", "a brave boy", "the
fire keeper". The word "Azerbaijan" originates from the name of an ancient
Turkish tribe, who resided in those territories.
The
Azerbaijan Republic is the largest of the Tran Caucasian and an important
strategic gateway between Europe and Asia. Its territory is 86.6
thousand square
kilometers, and population is more than 8.4 million.
Azerbaijan is currently involved into the implementation of huge energy
projects. Oil and gas projects are successfully implemented in the Azeri Caspian
sector. Azerbaijan is a country, which plays an extremely important role in the
Caspian and Caucasian regions, particularly in the development of transport
infrastructure in the Caucasus and the implementation of energy projects. It was
the region's first country to explore the huge energy potential, to form an
absolutely new economic model in the regional development, and to expand
political and economic relations between Europe and Asia.
In spite of the sad results of Armenia's aggression
against Azerbaijan (Armenia occupied the territory of Nagorny Karabakh and 7
neighboring districts. One million out of total population of eight million are
refugees), our country mobilized its potential and had great successes in
building democracy. Azerbaijan manages to successfully overcome the difficulties
and continues making important and firm steps towards t he establishment of a
democratic and lawful country with civil society.

Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan!
The heroic patriotic glorious land!
To die for you we are glad and we are ready!
If there is need to shed blood
We are too ready!
With three color banner live happily!
Sacrifices too many done,
Every soldier to front has gone!
When your chest was field of battle!
Come back as a heroic son!
Let me see you flourish,
Let your enemies perish!
I love you, my dear land
Be mightier we do wish!
To safeguard your sacred land,
To hold high your honored flag,
All the youngsters are too glad!
Glorious land, glorious land!
Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan!
