While its history, political and economic culture of 19th and particularly of 20th century are intertwined with that of Russia, Azerbaijan shares common religious, language, literary and folk traditions with Turkey, neighboring Georgia and Armenia and particularly with Iran. It has a predominantly Shiite Muslim population and its been independent since 1991.

Editors Foreword

Azerbaijan is both an old and a new country that has had and continues to have problems with its self-perception and acceptance by the outside world. The first time it actually appeared under its current name was in 1918, as the Azerbaijani Democratic Republic, at which time it was not particularly democratic nor much of a republic, but just another state dominated by the Soviet Union, and prior to that Russia, and then again Russia, but also in earlier times part of the empires of the Medes and Persians and then the Turkic community. After becoming a Soviet Republic in 1920, and a supposedly Autonomous Republic of Iran in 1945, it was a Soviet Socialist Republic as of 1978 and then the independent Republic of Azerbaijan in 1991. Shortly after it came under the control of Heydar Aliyev, president until 2003, when his son Ilham Aliyev took over and has ruled to the present.
