  • The Destructive Natural Events and Their Impact on the Distribution of Population in the Aran Economic Region of Azerbaijan
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 10(1); August 2014 The Destructive Natural Events and Their Impact on the Distribution of Population in the Aran Economic Region of Azerbaijan Sima Aliyeva Institute of Geography of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences Abstract Since ancient times, humans settled on favorable areas, particularly on the coasts of oceans and seas, rivers and lakes. For implementing agricultural works, the use of sources of fresh water and fertile lands are needed. The Aran economic region of Azerbaijan Republic is situated below the sea level, and includes Kur and Araz Rivers as the major sources of pure water. Inundations, earthquakes, droughts and heavy winds are the typical natural- destructive processes in the territory of Aran, and they have been repeated in recent years, damaging the local dwellers and their activities despite the implementation of measures against these destructive events. This article deals with the analysis of causes and consequences of these destructive natural events as well as the ways and measures on mitigation of these influences. Keywords: destructive, population, settlement, inundation, region, drought, earthquake, wind Humans always choose favorable places to live. In order to build villages and cities, they prefer areas near the sources of pure water with usable soil cover and favorable climatic condition. Plain relief is an important factor in terms of communication and transport relations with other territories as well as for managing agricultural works, irrigation, creation of drainage system. Ensuring sustainable development of systems of settlements, and activity of economic fields necessitates defining of areas and intensity of destructive natural events (DNE).

The 2011 year has been declared as "The year of tourism" in the country. Different ways of development of tourism, improvement of services in this area, training of professional specialists, solution of visa problem, creation of new touristic routes and city tours, and other issues were at the center of government's attention.

  • Nagorno-Karabakh: Basis and Reality of Soviet-Era Legal and Economic Claims Used to Justify the Armenia-Azerbaijan War
    Note from the Editor-in-Chief Nasimi Aghayev, LL.M.Eur. It is a great pleasure to present the next Winter 2008 issue of the Caucasian Review of International Affairs (CRIA). We are extremely glad to be able to publish again after a brief intersession. In September 2007 the Review was renamed, started again accepting submissions and presented its new and updated webpage (www.cria-online.org). The CRIA is committed to promote a better understanding of the regional affairs by providing relevant background information and analysis, as far as the Caucasus in general, and the South Caucasus in particular are concerned. The CRIA also welcomes lucid, well-documented papers on all aspects of international affairs, from all political viewpoints. Thanks to its favourable geo-strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and its vast energy resources the South Caucasus has gained in importance tremendously in the world politics right after the collapse of the former Soviet Union. The September 11 terror attacks and the following shifts in the global politics have increased the strategic importance of the South Caucasus as a crucial area. However, the region is plagued by conflicts and still remains a potential zone of instability. Given the increased attention to the region, there is still a great need for profound academic research concerning various political, security and economic and other issues of the region. In this issue the major emphasis is put on the regional security questions in the South Caucasus, conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, impact of the surrounding regional powers on foreign and security policy of the region’s states, their cooperation with NATO, as well as Russian and Iranian policies towards the region and Russian defense reforms.
