Etymology
According to a modern etymology, the
term Azerbaijan derives from that of
Atropates,[29][30] a Persian[31][32][33] satrap
under the Achaemenid Empire, who was
later reinstated as the satrap of Media
under Alexander the Great.[34][35] The
original etymology of this name is thought
to have its roots in the once-dominant
Zoroastrianism. In the Avesta's Frawardin
Yasht ("Hymn to the Guardian Angels"),
there is a mention of âterepâtahe ashaonô
fravashîm ýazamaide, which literally
translates from Avestan as "we worship
the fravashi of the holy Atropatene."[36] The
name "Atropates" itself is the Greek
transliteration of an Old Iranian, probably
Median, compounded name with the
meaning "Protected by the (Holy) Fire" or
"The Land of the (Holy) Fire".[37] The Greek
name was mentioned by Diodorus Siculus
and Strabo. Over the span of millennia, the
name evolved to Āturpātākān (Middle
Persian), then to Ādharbādhagān,
Ādharbāyagān, Āzarbāydjān (New Persian)
and present-day Azerbaijan.
The name Azerbaijan was first adopted for
the area of the present-day Republic of
Azerbaijan by the government of Musavat
in 1918,[38] after the collapse of the
Russian Empire, when the independent
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was
established. Until then, the designation had
been used exclusively to identify the
adjacent region of contemporary
northwestern Iran,[39][40][41][42] while the
area of the Azerbaijan Democratic
Republic was formerly referred to as Arran
and Shirvan.[43] On that basis Iran
protested the newly adopted country
name.[44]
During the Soviet rule, the country was also
spelled in Latin from the Russian
transliteration as Azerbaydzhan (Russian:
Азербайджа́н).[45] The country's name
was also spelled in Cyrillic script from
1940 to 1991 as "Азәрбајҹан".

Economy
After gaining independence in 1991,
Azerbaijan became a member of the
International Monetary Fund, the World
Bank, the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, the
Islamic Development Bank, and the Asian
Development Bank.[188] The banking
system of Azerbaijan consists of the
Central Bank of Azerbaijan, commercial
banks and non-banking credit
organizations. The National (now Central)
Bank was created in 1992 based on the
Azerbaijan State Savings Bank, an affiliate
of the former State Savings Bank of the
USSR. The Central Bank serves as
Azerbaijan's central bank, empowered to
issue the national currency, the Azerbaijani
manat, and to supervise all commercial
banks. Two major commercial banks are
UniBank and the state-owned International
Bank of Azerbaijan, run by Abbas
Ibrahimov.[189]
Agriculture
Azerbaijan has the largest agricultural
basin in the region. About 54.9 percent of
Azerbaijan is agricultural land.[126] At the
beginning of 2007 there were
4,755,100 hectares of utilized agricultural
area.[210] In the same year the total wood
resources counted 136 million m³.[210]
Azerbaijan's agricultural scientific research
institutes are focused on meadows and
pastures, horticulture and subtropical
crops, green vegetables, viticulture and
wine-making, cotton growing and
medicinal plants.[211] In some areas it is
profitable to grow grain, potatoes, sugar
beets, cotton[212] and tobacco. Livestock,
dairy products, and wine and spirits are
also important farm products. The
Caspian fishing industry concentrates on
the dwindling stocks of sturgeon and
beluga. In 2002 the Azerbaijani merchant
marine had 54 ships.[213]
Tourism
Shahdag Mountain Resort is the country's largest
winter resort.

examines the dynamics of semi-
presidentialism in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan's regime is a curious
hybrid, in which semi-presidential
institutions operate in the larger
context of authoritarianism. The
author compares formal
Constitutional provisions with the
practice of politics in the country,
suggesting that formal and informal
sources of authority come together to
enhance the effective powers of the
presidency. In addition to the
considerable formal powers laid out
in the Constitution, Azerbaijan's
president also benefits from the
support of the ruling party and
informal family and patronage
networks. LaPorte concludes by
discussing the theoretical
implications of this symbiosis
between formal and informal
institutions in Azerbaijan's semi-
presidential regime."

struggle.... Unlike Turkey, Azerbaijan
does not have the powerful
ideological legacy of secularism... the
conflict with Armenia has bred
frustration that is increasingly being

"Perhaps the most important legacy
of Yermolov was his intention from
early on to prepare the ground for the
conquest of the remaining khanates
under Iranian rule and to make the
River Aras the new border. (...)
Another provocative action by
Yermolov was the Russian
occupation of the northern shore of
Lake Gokcha (Sivan) in the Khanate
of Iravan in 1825. A clear violation of
Golestan, this action was the most
significant provocation by the
Russian side. The Lake Gokcha
occupation clearly showed that it was
Russia and not Iran which initiated
hostilities and breached Golestan and
that Iran was left with no choice but
to come up with a proper response."

29 . Michael E. Meeker, "The Dede Korkut
Ethic", International Journal of Middle
East Studies, Vol. 24, No. 3 (Aug.
1992), 395–417. excerpt: The Book of
Dede Korkut is an early record of oral
Turkic folktales in Anatolia, and as
such, one of the mythic charters of
Turkish nationalist ideology. The
oldest versions of the Book of Dede
Korkut consist of two manuscripts
copied in the 16th century. The twelve
stories that are recorded in these
manuscripts are believed to be
derived from a cycle of stories and
songs circulating among Turkic
peoples living in northeastern
Anatolia and northwestern
Azerbaijan. According to Lewis
(1974), an older substratum of these
oral traditions dates to conflicts
between the ancient Oghuz and their
Turkish rivals in Central Asia (the
Pecheneks and the Kipchaks), but
this substratum has been clothed in
references to the 14th-century
campaigns of the Akkoyunlu
Confederation of Turkic tribes against
the Georgians, the Abkhaz, and the
Greeks in Trebizond. Such stories and
songs would have emerged no earlier
than the beginning of the 13th
century, and the written versions that
have reached us would have been
composed no later than the
beginning of the 15th century. By this
time, the Turkic peoples in question
had been in touch with Islamic
civilization for several centuries, had
come to call themselves "Turcoman"
rather than "Oghuz," had close
associations with sedentary and
urbanized societies, and were
participating in Islamized regimes
that included nomads, farmers, and
townsmen. Some had abandoned
their nomadic way of life altogether.
299. Cemal Kafadar(1995), "in Between
Two Worlds: Construction of the
Ottoman states", University of
California Press, 1995. Excerpt: "It
was not earlier than the fifteenth
century. Based on the fact that the
author is buttering up both the
Akkoyunlu and Ottoman rulers, it has
been suggested that the composition
belongs to someone living in the
undefined border region lands
between the two states during the
reign of Uzun Hassan (1466–78). G.
Lewis, on the other hand, dates the
composition "fairly early in the 15th
century at least."
