History
The region of modern Azerbaijan was the site of cultural and territorial disputes in ancient times. Since the Middle Ages, Turkish culture and Islam have dominated Azerbaijan, although the region of Nagorno-Karabakh has remained largely Christian and ethnically Armenian. Between 1988 and 1994, Armenia and Azerbaijan fought over Nagorno-Karabakh—as of 2008, the status of the region was still in dispute. Azerbaijan seceded from the Soviet Union on August 30, 1991. -
