Whole Azerbaijan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whole Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Bütöv Azərbaycan) is an irredentist concept of uniting presumed historically Azerbaijani-inhabited territories into Republic of Azerbaijan.

History[]

The idea of "Whole Azerbaijan" was formulated by Piruz Dilanchi in 1991 [1] and defined in 1992 by Azerbaijani president Abulfaz Elchibey (s. 1992-93). In 1991, Dilanchi founded the SANLM nationalist organization and in 1997 Elchibey founded the "Whole Azerbaijan Union" (Bütöv Azərbaycan Birliyi) organization.[2][3] Elchibey published his book on the idea, Bütöv Azərbaycan yolunda, in Turkey in 1998. It claimed that the borders of Azerbaijan should extend from Derbent to the Persian Gulf.[4][dubious – discuss] Elchibey claimed that this was a territory of Azerbaijani historical ethnic presence.[5][verification needed] He proposed that Azerbaijan had right to rule it, under a proposed system of governance called "United Azerbaijani Lands" (Birləşmiş Azərbaycan Yurdları).[4] After his death in 2002, it was published postmortem. He opposed the idea of a separate and independent South Azerbaijan.[6][dubious – discuss][verification needed]
