⛰️ HighlandAt the junction of the Caucasus, Central Asia and Iran, Azerbaijan is a country apart, with a profile forged by oil exploitation. All around Baku, the derricks give the Absheron peninsula a Far West look. The whole history of Azerbaijan is marked by oil: the country is among the first to have experienced a rush for black gold, it is in the strategic heart of the Second World War for its oil reserves, it is in 1949 the first to inaugurate offshore drilling to take advantage of oil deposits in the Caspian ... Azerbaijan owes its wealth to oil (the country is now the richest in the former USSR), but also its appalling social disparities. The oil windfall has not ceased to arouse the covetousness of its powerful neighbors. Russia and Iran have been eyeing the wealth of this tiny country for decades, trying to get the lion's share. As a result of these struggles, a third of Azeris now live in Iran, and a good part of them live in Russia. This state of affairs is at the origin of the contrast that reigns in Azerbaijan between a population of Turkish origin living on Persian soil within a religious state, and the rest of the population, secularized during the communist occupation, which today aspires to turn towards the West and modernity.
