Azerbaijan - a nation with a Turkic and majority-Muslim population - regained its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Despite a 1994 cease-fire, Azerbaijan has yet to resolve its conflict with Armenia over the Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh enclave (largely Armenian populated). Azerbaijan has lost 16% of its territory and must support some 571,000 internally displaced persons as a result of the conflict. Corruption is ubiquitous and the promise of widespread wealth from Azerbaijan's undeveloped petroleum resources remains largely unfulfilled. To be updated

Down to Baku Asia » Azerbaijan
Wednesday April 4 I woke up to the sound of heavy rain but it had stopped by the time I emerged into the street. I said goodbye to the family and off I went on good flat roads and I was soon making 25-30 kms/hr. I stopped frequently for tea and was even asked inside one of the police stations at the side of the road for a cup of tea. I arrived in Ganca, pronounced Ganja, at 1pm and checked into a typical soviet era hotel. They could put a man in space but never achieved the feat of building [View Full Entry]

It was raining and windy when we arrived at our second bush camp near the mud volcanoes, we camped near the massive boulders common around the area of Gobustan. It was our group to cook so we set up fairly quickly but the wind was blowing so hard it was very difficult to cook. We made a pasta with fresh mushroom sauce and fried chicken, I was just relieved when it was over. Earlier on the day we did lunch it was easier as the sun was out, we stopped on the roadside and the entire time we were watched [View Full Entry]

Took us at least a couple of hours to cross into Azerbaijan, I noticed the border guards in the Georgian side are very busy eating sunflowers seeds, seems to preoccupy them so much we zipped through their side without a hitch, In the Azeri side a little more stricter and I thnik one of us has to have a physical check up at the border, i believe our co driver Toni volunteered but i haven't asked him of the outcome, soon as we crossed over we noticed a lot more progress in the Azeri side, the oil must really a [View Full Entry]

Tuesday April 4. I said a fond farewell to Irena and rode the 2 kms into the centre to the telephone building. In the process I had two cars literally drive at me and when I remonstrated they just looked blank. But I am driving a clapped out rust bucket and I am higher up the food chain than you so why are you complaining? These drivers have not taken any driving test and frequently hit each other. The government has a major task on its hands to cut down on drunken driving. It rained hard all day. The border [View Full Entry]

So what is Azerbaijan all about? Well it is the Caucasus but in a Muslim way... This means they still are crazy and hospitable and you will be invited for vodka like elsewhere in these parts, only the amounts are slightly less and they do it less conspicuous. You won't see much in the way of women covering their hair or anything else obviously Islamic, the Soviets made sure of that during their time here. It is more secular than Turkey for instance and the people less religious... But still you won't see many people wearing shorts either, but that may [View Full Entry]
