      Introduction Azerbaijan

      Background:

       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 800,000 refugees and 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.
