More about Azerbaijan

Population

Around 92% of the population are Azerbaijanis (Azeri), 2% Lesgins (Lesgier), 2% Russians, 2% Armenians (mainly in the Nagorno-Karabakh region). The national minorities also include Ukrainians, Georgians, Tatars and others. Many Armenians emigrated because of the armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In return, refugees (ethnic Azerbaijanis) from Armenia (around 250,000) immigrated to Azerbaijan. There are also around 623,000 internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding areas occupied by Armenia. The official language is Azerbaijani (Azeri), which is similar to Turkish. In 2001, by decree, the Cyrillic was officially replaced by the Latin script, which had been in use since 1992.

In some regions of Azerbaijan, urbanization began relatively early due to the industrialization that began in the 1870s with oil production. The proportion of the urban population is now 55% (2017). The average population density is (2017) 119 residents / km 2. The main settlement areas are the Apsheron peninsula , especially the region around Baku , the Lenkoran lowlands, the industrial areas of the Kura-Arax plain and the foothills of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus. In contrast, the mountain regions are only very sparsely populated.

Religion

The constitution (Article 18) guarantees freedom of religion and follows the principle of the separation of state and religion. Religious communities are required to register with the Ministry of Justice. The basis of the state’s religious policy, which is coordinated and controlled by the Department of Religious Affairs of the Council of Ministers, is the 1997 version of the Law on Religious Freedom. It permits religious activity only in state-registered religious organizations, but expressly forbids it for foreign citizens and people without Azerbaijani citizenship.

The dominant religion is Islam , to which (2011) around 96% of the population can be attributed. Around 65% of Muslims are Shiites (Imamites and Ismailis), around 35% Sunnis from the Hanefi school of law. Shiite Islam, to which the vast majority of Azerbaijanis belong, is v. a. widespread in Central and South Azerbaijan; Sunni Islam, represented among the Abkhazians, Kurds, Lesgians, Tatars and Mesheds living in Azerbaijan, is concentrated v. a. in North Azerbaijan. In addition to official Islam, popular Islam, shaped by »lay mullahs«, plays a major role (worship of over 300 holy places). The remaining 4% of the population is mainly made up of Christians Armenian and Russian Orthodox Church , few followers of the Catholic faith, numerically small Protestant communities (Adventists, Baptists, Pentecostals) and members of the Jewish community (about 0.1%). Other religious minorities are the Bahais (banned in 1937; newly constituted in 1992), Yazidis (among the Kurds) and the supporters of the Shiite special community Ali Ilahi.

Other newspapers are »525-ci qäzet«, »Ayna-Zerkalo« (»Spiegel«) and »Echo« (Russian) as well as the English language »Azer News« (weekly print edition, daily online).
