ABSTRACT: This study investigates mainly economic, political and social relations
between Azerbaijan and Turkey. The study covers the economic improvements in
the period between 1990-2005. In the study, data
relating to the general economic development after the independence of the
Republic of Azerbaijan after 1990 are examined. Azerbaijan was one of the Republics
of the former Soviet Union. After 1990 following the collapse of the Union of
the Soviet Socialist Republics, the State of Azerbaijan declared its
independence. As a newly independent State, Azerbaijan had a great potential
for economic relations with Turkey. Even today, this is still the case. From
education to tourism, from construction sector to trade, there are Turkish
companies all over Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a member state of The Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union and
led by the Russian Federation. This makes it
easier for Turkey to reach the CIS market via Azerbaijan, and provides a
port to Europe for Azerbaijan via Turkey.
