Caspian partner

Azerbaijan is a recognized regional leader in many statistical indicators. This is explained both by the large reserves of natural resources, primarily hydrocarbons, and by the unique geographic location that allows this state to play a leading role in the South Caucasus, at the same time acting as a geopolitical intermediary between Moscow, Tehran and Ankara.

Despite the fact that Russia and Azerbaijan are countries of different scale, mentality, culture, the dialogue between Moscow and Baku has always been strategic for both sides, which is due to both high rates in trade and military-technical cooperation, and Russian foreign policy cooperation with the countries of the former Soviet Union. And in the past 2017 year, bilateral relations have again shown that they are not subject to the current political situation and are based on a strategic vision of development prospects.

Russia is an important partner of Azerbaijan in the Caspian region. The countries along with Iran are involved in the implementation of the trilateral cooperation format, it is possible that the Russian-Azerbaijani-Kazakhstan interaction format will also create a way for the implementation of new promising projects with the participation of the two countries and their closest partners in the region, for example, the Russian side Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway corridor launched

At the end of 2017, an extended meeting of the Azerbaijani-Russian and Russian-Azerbaijani business councils was held in Baku, which brought together several dozen businessmen of the two countries. The parties noted with satisfaction that after a three-year decline, the trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Russia grew (by 50 percent compared to 2016 year) and exceeded 2 billion dollars. It was noted that there is an opportunity to increase this figure to 10 billions, which is quite realistic, given the economic potential of both countries and cooperation in the above-mentioned multilateral interstate formats.

One of the most important areas of interaction between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation is military-technical cooperation. In the summer of 2017, Azerbaijan received another batch of Russian weapons, purchased on the basis of an agreement on military-technical cooperation between the two countries. In December, the 2017-th meeting of the intergovernmental commission on military-technical cooperation between Azerbaijan and Russia was held in Baku in December 11, during which the parties discussed the state of bilateral cooperation in this field, as well as the main activities of the 2018 year.

Thus, Azerbaijani political scientist Ilgar Velizade, who considers Azerbaijani-Russian relations to be the cornerstone of regional political architecture, is absolutely right.

Azerbaijan is neither a member of the EAEU, nor an observer of the EAEU, nor a likely candidate for joining the EAEU. This means that Azerbaijan is not going to create a common customs and economic space with Russia with all the conclusions that follow from this. Another weather vane, which "keeps his nose in the wind."

Azerbaijan is counting on deepening bilateral economic relations in areas of interest to Azerbaijan, and not on the EAEU. And the trade turnover with the EAEU countries is not so big - only Russia stands apart: Russia accounts for 20% of Azerbaijan’s imports (weapons?), And exports go mainly to Western countries - Italy, Turkey, Israel and the UK. Joining the EAEU is unlikely to give impetus to the development of Azerbaijan - in the EAEU market the main product of Azerbaijan - oil and gas - will experience significant competition. And this will not eliminate competition in foreign markets. A complete opening of its market within the EAEU will lead to the actual destruction of the already weak industry of Azerbaijan. So there is no calculation for Azerbaijan to join the EAEU!

And those with whom you have created a common customs and economic space do you much benefit? When you stop feeding, they will immediately turn away from you, everyone knows that! Azerbaijan has once been in a team called the USSR. 80% of the Baku fuel was used in the Second World War, but Baku did not become a hero city, strangely enough, and "thanked" us in January 1990 so that it was sickening to think of any kind of alliance with you.
Now about the EurAsEC:
Most of the union’s foreign trade is still in Russia, which last year accounted for 83,5% of the EAEU’s foreign trade. It is followed by a wide margin in Kazakhstan (10,4%), Belarus (4,9%), as well as Armenia (0,6%) and Kyrgyzstan (0,6%), whose share against the general background is still small. Mineral products (65,6%) predominate in the structure of all-Union exports, most of which are oil and gas resources, as well as products of the metallurgical (9,7%) and chemical (6,5%) industries. In addition, agricultural products account for 4,4% of all-Union exports, and machine-building industry accounts for 3,2%. The imports are dominated by machinery and equipment (42,9%), chemical products (18,2%), as well as food and agricultural raw materials (14,1%). Despite the fact that Russian purchases on foreign food markets have noticeably decreased in the last two years, the commodity structure of imports as a whole remains unfavorable for the EAEU.

Exactly for fighting ???
Cities - heroes - the honorary title, which was awarded to 12 cities, famous for their heroic defense during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
Highest distinction - the title "hero city" is assigned to the cities of the Soviet Union, whose workers showed massive heroism and courage in defending their homeland. In addition, the Brest Fortress was awarded the title Hero Fortress. Currently, four of them are located in Ukraine. Minsk and the Brest Fortress Hero are in Belarus, the rest are in Russia. For the first time, the cities of Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol and Odessa were named hero cities in an order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief (I.V. Stalin) on May 1, 1945. Officially, this title was assigned to them in the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the approval of the Regulations on the honorary title "Hero City" of May 8, 1965.

Operation Edelweiss (German Operation Edelweiß) is the code name for the operation of the German command to capture the Caucasus, in particular the oil-producing region of Grozny and Baku during the Great Patriotic War. The plan of operation was approved by Hitler on July 23, 1942. The main forces included:

Army Group A under the command of Wilhelm List;
1st Panzer Army under the command of Ewald von Kleist;
4th Panzer Army of Hermann Goth;
17th Army of Army Group “A” Richard Ruoff;
Luftflotte-4 of Field Marshal Wolfram von Richthofen;
3rd Romanian army of General Petre Dumitrescu.
Group A armies were supported from the east by Group B armies under the command of Fedor von Bock and units of the 4th Air Army (a total of one thousand aircraft). Ground forces amounted to 15 thousand oil workers, 167 thousand soldiers, 4540 machine guns and 1130 tanks .--------- And this is about Baku.

Well, firstly, nobody in Russia robbed and killed Russians in Baku. This is a very serious accusation, imagine a documented fact .. Secondly, after January 90th, all Russians were associated in Baku as murderers and invaders. On that night and for the next 2 months, people in their city heard Russian speech and arms shots. What would be your reaction? And the entire carbalet created from April 1920 was completely finished in a matter of hours or days. We have never spoiled the Russians, as your "close" and "trusted" ones do to you. Yes, there have been many wars in history and many have fought against each other.

in short, a Russian mixture (?) of Scandinavians and Asians, nomads

and what are the Azerbaijanis mixed up with?

We are called Azerbaijanis. It is believed that the basis of the Azerbaijani nation were the Oghuz Turks (themselves, by the way, an ancient mixture of Türks and Sarmatian massagets (also known as Parthians), the same nomads in antiquity. By the way, the Saket massagets (Parthians) were also very warlike people. Therefore, Azerbaijanis and Turks initially differed from other Turkic peoples in their European identity). On the territory of Azerbaijan was located the legendary country of Sakasena (the country of Saks) in the region of Sheki, hence the name. Further in Azerbaijan, toponyms remaining from the massagets (Saks), dissolved in the Azerbaijani people, are everywhere: Mashtagi, etc. And the early Turkic strata (before the Oghuzs still): the Khazars (Turks) of the Khazar Kaganate (their capital was located in the region of present Derbent, where, incidentally, Azerbaijanis mainly live in Dagestan), the Pechenegs (they were located practically throughout Eastern Europe (and Asia Minor) ) that in the 1095th century they already occupied the area between the Volga and (in the XNUMXth century they already occupied the area between the Volga and Yaik). Remember the Song of the Thing Oleg. In Russia, the Oguzes also knew as bonds (torques). They wandered around Pereyaslavl. They were already in active service with Russia in XNUMX because they helped Monomakh steal his son Svyatoslav from the Polovtsian camp. In addition to them, local Indo-European peoples such as the Caspian, Medes (their descendants) and so on, the Cimmerians, as well as the Caucasian-speaking peoples (the union of Albanian tribes, in which, according to some historians, Caucasians were also Turkic tribes) took part in the ethnogenesis of Turkic Azerbaijanis.

[Scorpio05]

Pechenegs and bonds (torques) are a very interesting topic individually. So, it is known that two tribes were resettled within Russia: the Pechenegs and Torques, but it turns out that in the service of the princes, in addition to them, there were: Berendey, Kaepichi, Turpei, Koui (Kayi - Turkaman tribe), bouts. In Azerbaijan and Iran they are known as bayat. Tribe (Clan rather) Bayat.
When the Russians met with Torquay, they did not miss to take advantage of their services. In 985, Vladimir the Holy leads them to the Bulgarians. With the advent of the Polovtsy, the princes found a new force for their military enterprises. Poland and Hungary are starting to experience this for themselves. In 1092, they were led to the borders of the first Vasilko Rostislavich. In addition, since the seventies of the XI century, the Polovtsians themselves raided Hungary from its southeast side, their Russian princes direct the Hungarians ...
In their first campaigns at the Polovtsy, the Russian princes persuaded the torques-bonds (Oguzes) to move to Russia and took their vezi with them. In 1103, the Russians "captured the Pechenegs and Torques with vezhes." Finally, the last major migration of this tribe to the Russian borders took place in 1116.

So, we appeared in Russia already then, and by invitation)
In 1162, Rurik had in the army: Berendey, Kovuy, Torquay and Pechenegs. All this mass of different Turkic nomadic families in Russia bore the common name of "black hoods", that is, "black hats". Karapapakhs in Azerbaijani. When military settlements of black hoods formed, they began to take an active part in the feuds of the Russian princes. Being in close connection with Russia, making up the population of its whole region - Piglets, they nevertheless did not particularly spare their new compatriots ...

There were Pechenegs of Kanev ... At the end of the XII century, we know the three black-blooded princes who owned the cities in Porosye. Kuntuvdey first sat in Torchesk, then he was given the city of Dernovy in Russia. It is not known which cities belonged to Churnay and Kuldeyur - the annals do not name them. These were, apparently, outstanding people. About Kuntuvdey, the chronicler says that he is "be a man of courage and need in Russia." We see him together with Kuldeyur in the campaign of Igor Svyatoslavich to the Polovtsy towards Khorol in 1183. The source is indicated above. The role of the Chernoblobutsky population in the history of Russia, especially southern, is very significant. It should be recognized as equally important for the Chernoboks during political events in Russia and in its struggle with the Polovtsy. In 1162, black hoods caught the Polovtsy in Russia and took prisoners. In 1172, the Polovtsy robbed the cities of Poloniy and Semych. Soon the chase of one hundred people of Pereyaslavl and one and a half thousand Berendey was collected, it overtook the Polovtsy and took it away. When it was necessary to hit enemies with surprise, to catch them by surprise, then black hoods were irreplaceable ... No one could better find out about the enemy’s position, no one was more able to get into the enemy camp. Recall how successfully the Torquay sneaked into Kitan’s camp and not only stole Svyatoslav Vladimirovich, but also killed the prince of Polovtsy.
Polovtsy: In 1117, Monomakh married his son Andrei to the daughter of Turk Khan. Rurik Rostislavich received from his father's wife the daughter of the Polovtsian Khan Beglyuk. In 1205, Vsevolod of Suzdal married for his son Yaroslav the daughter of the Polovtsian khan Yuri Konchakovich. Especially the last marriage shows that what was meant here was not to protect the land from raids, but to stock up with relatives in the steppe, since Suzdal’s land was completely closed from Polovtsian invasions ... In 1187, Vladimir Igorevich returned from Polovtsian captivity with his wife, daughter of the famous Konchak. In Russia, they played a second wedding, for it had already been committed once in the steppe. There were marriages of a romantic nature. Svyatoslav Vladimirovich had the stepfather of the Polovtsian Khan Bashkord. It turns out that after the death of his first husband, Vladimir Davidovich, his mother was carried away by the steppe handsome man and ran to him in a nomad. This is probably not an isolated fact ...
Already from the fact that the Polovtsy were in kinship with all the almost princely clans of Russia, we can see that in the history of the Russian land they will play the role of balancing power.
