  • Social Status of 'Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi' in Present-Day Azerbaijan
    Social status of ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’ in present-day Azerbaijan ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’ as counter-balance Year: 2015 Place of fieldwork: Republic of Azerbaijan Name:Ko Iwakura Keywords: Azerbaijan, Control policy on Islam, ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’, Minority Sunni, Counter-balance Research background Azerbaijan is a country comprising approximately 70% Shia and 25% Sunni Muslims, while the national majority are Azerbaijanis (descended from the Turkic people). We can see the authority of secularism through the government’s control policy on Islam and ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’, which is a society organization that controls Ulama (Islamic law scholars) and mosques. In fact, when walking around an Azerbaijani town, we can observe women not wearing headscarves, alcohol and pork being sold and consumed, and other examples of non-Islamic practices. Conversely, despite government and ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’ policies, uncontrollable Islamic social organizations are active. To limit them, laws and police powers are exercised to manage the current situation. Research purpose and aim Prior research on the management of uncontrollable Islamic social organizations has either neglected or ignored the roles of the government and ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’. Unlike prior research, this study focuses on the policies of ‘Qafqaz Müsəlmanları İdarəsi’ on Islam and social status. Focusing on these points, it is possible to provide the government’s perspectives, rather than only the perspectives from outside the government, on the nature of Islam in Azerbaijan. Furthermore, I consider that this research can contribute not only to policies in Azerbaijan but also to enhancing understanding of the relationship between Islam and the governments of former Soviet and socialist bloc nations.

  • Official Media
    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.

Сучасне ісламознавство: науковий журнал. Острог: Вид-во НаУОА, 2020. DOI: 10.25264/2707-4013-2020-2-12-17 № 2. C. 12–17. Nariman Gasimoglu PROBLEMS OF MUSLIM BELIEF IN AZERBAIJAN: HISTORICAL AND MODERN REALITIES Religiosity in Azerbaijan, the country where vast majority of population are Muslims, has many signs different to what is practiced in other Muslim countries. This difference in the first place is related to the historically established religious mentality of Azerbaijanis. Worth noting is that history of this country with its Shia Muslims majority and Sunni Muslims minority have registered no serious incidents or confessional conflicts and clashes either on the ground of inter-sectarian confrontation or between Muslim and non-Muslim population. Azerbaijan has never had anti-Semitism either; there has been no fact of oppression of Jewish people living in Azerbaijan for many centuries. One of the interesting historic facts is that Molokans (ethnic Russians) who have left Tsarist Russia when challenged by religious persecution and found asylum in neighborhoods of Muslim populated villages of Azerbaijan have been living there for about two hundred years and never faced problems as a religious minority. Besides historical and political reasons, this should be related to tolerance in the religious mentality of Azerbaijanis as well. Features of religion in Azerbaijan: historical context Most of the people living in Azerbaijan were devoted to Tengriism (Tengriism had the most important place in the old belief system of ancient Turks), Zoroastrianism and Christianity before they embraced Islam.
