Foreword 
 
The book “History of Azerbaijan” is the first textbook 
written in English in Azerbaijan University of Architecture and 
Construction. This book is a valuable source for the local and 
foreign students studying in English. 
It is known that since 
the restoration of our independence radical changes in all 
areas, as well as in science and education have taken place. 
It has also opened up new opportunities for the education 
of Azerbaijani youth abroad. Important measures for the 
studying of the English language to the youth both in our 
country and abroad were taken. First of all, special 
attention was paid to the need to develop English language 
teaching in secondary and high schools. 
A number of English speaking groups for all faculties 
at Universities were also created. Now the subject “History 
of Azerbaijan” is taught in English-speaking groups of the 
Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction. 
However, there hadn’t been a textbook named “History of 
Azerbaijan
”, therefore this textbook was written. The 
textbook was written according to the syllabus of the 
subject and covers all topics. This textbook means that the 
direction of our studies is to teach our history in English to 
students. We are confident that this textbook will be able to 
help both local and foreign students in studying “History of 
Azerbaijan”.
