Geography Now! Azerbaijan

Wow, Sorry this took so long, I'm back from Finland and FINALLY finished the AZERBAIJAN video. I talked to a lot of Azerbaijani subscribers who helped me with this video, and hopefully it's okay.

Azerbaijan (or Azerbajdzsán in my language). The name alone sounds cool. It feels there is strenght in it.

[@jarrettwattenburger1272]

This was a very interesting video, and thank you, Paul, for uploading it and teaching us. I had no idea Azerbaijan was so interesting. I'm just looking forward to when Geography Now gets to Georgia.

[@y25151956]

[@bailbondsyesbailbonds]

Hey Paul I would like to say thank you for posting these videos because I am going to the North Carolina state geography bee this year and some of your videos helped me a lot when it came to studying countries diplomatic relations, demographic, etc.

[@alexandrephiruzashvili9153]

I am from Georgia and i'm teacher of geography. i love this channel, but please make a video about Georgia too!!!

[@LanyonnJ]

I've spent my entire Sunday going through your videos and I have to pause and comment on what an excellent job you're doing here. It makes me realise my own ignorance about the many, many people in the world but then it is corrected bit by bit as your videos motivate me to learn more about each country as I go. Thank you for making this channel! Love from India!

[@saddamzeynalov3812]

Wow , as an azerbaijani, i am stunned , nicely done! :)

[@nikolaosvinitidisoulakis2973]

Hello, I am Greek, and I am trying to study Azerbaijani and Bulgarian. Can anyone give me some tips for learning Azerbaijani quick? Anyways nice video. Even though Armenians are my brothers, I notice Azerbaijan having a good amount of tourist in Greece and they are nice people.

[@mjrogers2]

Glad your back Paul. Those flame towers are amazing

[@KHAN_SAFAROV]

Thanks Poul , all the facts is true. I LoVe AZERBAYCAN. Geography Now

[@turantvazerbaycan7060]

Thank you for this great Video! But only 9 Million Azerbaijanis are living in Azerbaijan, but they are over 20 Million Azerbaijanis who are living in Iran. :)

[@umutkafadar]

You got all the information right. Congratulations and keep up the good work. One of your Turkish subscribers.

[@DaniyalZeX7]

But missed out some stuff. Sen Azerbaijani misin?

[@user-us9vl1xq5y]

***** Also missed out on the initial attacks and massacres of Armenians in Baku and other cities. ^_^

[@umutkafadar]

I think he pointed out the most important parts and everything was correct AFAIK. You can't mention everything in a 10 minute video. I'm not an Azeri though. I'm from Turkey. So maybe my knowledge is not complete. I will have to wait a couple of years when he reaches letter T so that I can comment with more authority. :)

[@umutkafadar]

Besides he is trying to teach geography. Not history. ;)

[@robertogrigolatto8565]

If you took the time to talk about Azerbaijan's only exclave, then your India/Bangladesh video will take ages.

[@UtsukShah9]

He will just link the Wonderwhy video in the description. XD

[@haojiang9832]

luckily, WonderWhy already talked about it in his video

[@aghazarshahbazli7394]

Oh bro I loved your video thank you so much for doing a review on Azerbaijan

[@kingkomodox1953]

You deserve more subscribers, awsome video , This country seems cool

[@anugrahsetyawibawa4449]

[@thomaskenel6165]

I love your videos! Keep up the great work! Cant wait till you get to Canada! Bring on the poutine, hockey, and maple syrup references

[@hughseager5691]

I think Paul does a great job of sharing really quite interesting information about the geography and history of countries. He does it in a tentative, unbiased way which is refreshing. I think you guys in the comments need to chill a little. Yes I understand different nations don't get along but at the end of the day, each one of us are human. Born and raised on different areas of land- that's the difference. If only you in the comments could see how you are getting nowhere but spreading hate and potentially putting the talented Paul off making any more videos in the future. Keep going Paul, you're awesome :D

[@blauelmo]

Zimbabwe is here waiting... And waiting. P.S, I'm not from Zimbabwe P.P.S Viva La Singapura

Love this series, I can see this really kicking off.

[@AlexDeese]

Very informative video, I cannot wait for the next one. Being that I am from Florida, The Bahamas is my "next door neighbor," and I love visiting there. :)

Do you know anyone who is Bahamian? IF so tell them to contact me! I would love native input!

Thanks for explaining the difference and similarities between the Turkish and Turkick people. It makes sense now.

LOVE FROM SOUTH AZERBAİJAN (TABRİZ) 👍🏻 😊 🇦🇿

[@undolf4097]

It's really enlightening to learn about the tensions between the Armenians and Azerbaijanis from this video and the comment section. It prompts me to look around even more!

[@muradguliyev1625]

That is so good information.Barby I learn so many countries from Geography Now.Hello from Azerbaijan

[@armorrazuken]

great video as always.btw my country(belgium)is not that far down the list so i'll be sure to send you some pictures and usefull information.keep up the good work,man.

[@ufukbal]

Actually, Turkish people and Azerbaijani people have the same origin. In 16th century, there have been a huge fight between Ottoman Empire and Safavids. Azerbaijani people are the descendants of Safavids mostly. Actually, modern Iran was also descendants of Safavids. And the only difference between Ottoman society and Safavid society was Ottoman people were Sunni and Safavid people were Shia. Safavids are the descendants of Seljuks also. And this is why they have an Seljuk star in the middle of their flag. Turkey also has that flag but in a different formation. The Seljuk people who came to Anatolia in the middle of 11th century builded the Sunni -mostly orthodox and civil (I mean who lives in cities mostly) way of Islam. And they founded Anatolian Seljuks. Ottoman flag, has the same crescent and Seljuk star. It is only Turkey that has it in a different form. Azerbaijan and Turkey actually have always been enemies for six or seven centuries. They are only friends for a century. And ironically founders of Azerbaijani state were panturkist Ottoman officers. And the relations between modern Turkey and modern Azebaijan kind of strange. Azerbaijani government is kind of pro-Russian and have some issues with Turkey. Because Turkey have organised an unsuccessful military coup in Azerbaijan. And the biggest problem is, Turkey wants to open the border and customs with Armenia. And Azerbaijan is really mad about this issue. And also, Azerbaijan does not recognize the de-facto state of Turkish Norhern Cyprus. And yes, they have oil. And yes, they sell it cheaper to Turkey. And yes, Azerbaijan watches our TV-series and we support them in Eurovision. But Armenia is also cool I think.

[@atagolparvar1788]

It would be perfect that you also mention sth about Southern Azerbaijan that is inside today's "iran". We are 35 million ppl living in iran and we are Azerbaijanian !

[@zeynabaliyeva4009]

I really like your videos and this one too!Keep on making good videos!^^

[@DaniyalZeX7]

Lol you forgot to talk about the Turks(Azaris) in Iran... PS those Turks in Iran have very different views from where they come from than Turks from turkey and Azerbaijan.

[@fatemeh3503]

Pretty sure he will talk about that in his video about Iran. But we (Iranian people) love each other and doesn't matter whether we are Turks,lurs,bakhtiaries, kurds, Persian(fars) or etc.😉

[@erdal0]

***** I spoke with Azeri from Iran and they are also Turk.

[@wiimooden]

Why do Armenians and Azeris waste so much breath arguing with each other? The Caucasus region is small enough as it is, why would you want to squander what potential this does have into sustaining a feud which only enables corruption, autocracy and cronyism in both countries? Sure, you can do what you learned in school, go through each others histories, and see how each other is different but so much more out of it is lost by emphasizing those differences and ignoring the similarities.

[@elshanmammadli7731]

Hi, its so complicated issue even majority of our people and armenians don't understand. Caucasus region is small but rich enough with natural resources that other big countries like Russia wants to control that region. Peace in that region actually doesn't fit with the policy of those big countries. That is why there are a lot of problems between these 2 counties.

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they are short enough so I don't mind listening for a few minutes

What We have the biggest KFC Seriously Why i didin't know half of these things Whatever, great video!

[@khayaljumaliyev7994]

Dude you are rock. Perfect uploads. Thanks for the video about Azerbaijan it is cool, respect. P.S Armenians and Azerbaijanis make love not war. Greetings from Azerbaijan

[@MrL1ink]

Great video, I learned alot about Azerbaijans geography from this video. I understand its difficult to discuss the historical geography without mentioning the wars related to how some borders came to.

You are back! NEVER do that again, we care for you! WE NEED YOU! You are the proof knowledge is still alive. So don't you ever stop uploading videos. The world needs you. Your fans need you. I need you.

[@daviderenda9211]

I can't wait until the "I"! You're so good, geeetings from Italy

[@GeographyNow]

Trust me, I'm 1/4 Italian, it's part of my heritage, so I can't wait either.

[@pianoloverxo]

Thanks for the video! Saying that there is religious freedom is questionable, but otherwise I think you gave a good overview of Azerbaijan.

[@GeographyNow]

Yeah I mean, it's technically true, but the building of religious institutions of anything that isn't Islamic typically go through a long process of red tape for approval, many times getting denied, It's kind of sad

[@sahinquliyev3585]

Geography Now Even though its mainly muslim country, atheists and other religious people doesn't meet hostility here.

[@pianoloverxo]

Sahin Quliyev Christians have met some hostility...Thankfully police interrogations and brief imprisonments are the worst I've heard them having to endure. Hopefully as the country continues to develop more churches will be able to operate openly.

[@SuperCpmovies]

YES! Been so excited for this.

[@cesarepampena7740]

Amazing!!!!!!

[@ParadiseProds0]

If I were you I wouldv'e atleast included something in the demographics part about the large ammount of azerbaijani living in Iran. Seeing how there are more azerbaijanis living under persian rule in Iran, than there are living in Azerbaijan.

[@DaniyalZeX7]

And same for turkey. 20%+ of the population is iranic (Kurd). And in less than 50 years turkeys population will become a Kurdish majority. Oh and for this video it's true, Turks/Azeris speak a Turkic language but genetically are iranic. Even the word is a old iranic word.

[@1nopoint]

Iranian Azerbaijanis are not living under "Persian Rule." The people of Iran respect each other as equals and as Iranian first. The Ayatollah of Iran is Azerbaijani.

[@DaniyalZeX7]

AJ Ace A-N lmaoooo I know right, and funny thing is that Persian is not even a thing in Iran.

[@stardustian]

Those are not really azerbaijanis.

[@gnawershreth]

xoxowicked Nope, it's like a lot of people in this comment section don't recognize the difference between a nationality and an ethnicity. They're comparing apples and oranges here. It would be like saying that everyone with a Germanic background are Germans. Complete and utter nonsense. lol

[@guppo26]

Paul, I'm again going to say I very much like how you deal with all the different sorts of conflicts. You mention them but don't focus on them, and by sticking to facts and staying neutral on them I think you're handling it very professionally. Never shy away from subjects or to be too "politically correct" about it just because there might be some people on either side that will give you shit for it. Great job and keep up the hard work! :D

[@aavikkokettu1714]

Amazing Wallpaper in your your channel + Polar Bear! :3

[@DarkBrawlerLink]

I have a question: As I know, Azerbaijan does not allows the entrance of Armenians or people who have visited Armenia before to the country. However, Armenia does not forbid Azerbaijanis to enter the country. If an Azerbaijani visits Armenia, then it means that person can't enter his own country?

[@shqipeprincess7876]

6:30 Thank you so much for telling people not to confuse "Caucasian Albanian" with the now a day Albanians... Idiots get it confused a lot... Haha 😄

[@Me-ui1zy]

To be fair, its not hard to see why people get confused

[@shqipeprincess7876]

Of course they both had the names Albania
