Armenians In Azerbaijan
Armenians in Azerbaijan are the Armenians who lived in great numbers in the modern state of Azerbaijan and its precursor, Soviet Azerbaijan. According to the statistics, about 500,000 Armenians lived in Soviet Azerbaijan prior to the outbreak of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1988. Most of the Armenian-Azerbaijanis however had to flee the republic, like Azerbaijanis in Armenia, in the events leading up to the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, a result of the ongoing Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. Atrocities directed against the Armenian population took place in Sumgait (February 1988), Ganja (Kirovabad, November 1988) and Baku (January 1990).

History Of Baku
Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan Republic, which was also the capital of Shirvan (during the reigns of Akhsitan I and Khalilullah I), Baku Khanate, Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and Azerbaijan SSR and the administrative center of Russian Baku governorate. Baku is derived from the old Persian ''Bagavan'', which translates to "City of God". A folk etymology explains the name ''Baku'' as derived from the Persian ''Bādkube'' (بادکوبه ), meaning "city where the wind blows", due to frequent winds blowing in Baku. However, the word ''Bādkube'' was invented only in the 16th or 17th century, whereas Baku was founded at least before the 5th century AD. Names in mediaeval sources Starting from the 13th century AD the name of Baku begins to appear in mediaeval European Sources. Spelling of the name varies from ''Vahcüh'' ( Pietro Della Valle), to ''Bakhow, Baca, Bakuie'' and ''Backu.'' On the coins minted by Shirvanshahs name appears as Bakuya. Other explanations V ...
