_The name and origin of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijan) according to "Mir Ali Seydev"

Mir Ali Sayedov, a great Turkish scientist, considers the name of Azerbaijan to be related to mythological and religious factors and distinguishes and justifies this word. Az: good intention, profit, benefit, and also the name of one of the great tribes of Turks, whose name is mentioned in the inscriptions of the Orkhon Plain, even some believe that the name of the continent of Asia is derived from the name of this tribe that was scattered in most of its parts. is The word Az is preserved in the name of an ancient village called "Has" or "As" belonging to 4 thousand years ago. Ar: Man, human being, young man. This word is seen at the end of Turk clan names. Tatar (Tat man. Non-Muslim here), Khazar, Qajar, Magyar In ancient Turkish, the suffix (ar) was attached to the end of the name and assigned a person to it. The same suffix that is equivalent to (li) or (lu) in modern Turkish. Az is also the name of the people who lived in present-day Azerbaijan and eastern Turkey and ruled there. The word comes from +ar (Azar) or today's "Azer". The combination of the two words Az and Ar means "Azar" meaning a well-intentioned man and figuratively meaning a blessed tribe. This word continues to exist in another way in the name of the historical river of the Azerbaijan region, "Araz". In the rural areas of Ahar, this word is pronounced "Araz". Bai: The word Bai in Turkish language means big, rich, owner, lord, mighty, rich, powerful, powerful, wealthy, ruler, wise, etc. Gan (Qan): father, khan, king, lord and similar meanings The Turkic suffix "jan", "-ghan-", "-ghan-", "-gan-", "-kahn-" indicates places, places and geographical locations. For example, in the case of Chalagan (the name of an island in Lake Urmia), it means the place of residence of the Chala clan. Some other examples of the use of this suffix: Varzeghan, Gogan, Gorgan, Taleghan, Zangan (modern Zanjan), Sirjan, Kamijan, etc., which this suffix has changed to J Saidef means this word in its general sense as "blessed wealthy father". Most of Turk researchers agree with this theory, and every day they get a lot of evidence to prove this claim.

_The name and origin of Azerbaijan according to "Ismail Hadi"

Az/AS+R+By+Jan Az/As: It is the name of a people who lived all over Asia, and probably the name of the continent of Asia is also derived from the name of this people. Ar: It means brave person or person The name of Aras River (Araz) is also composed of two words Ar+Az Bai: Amir, Ghani, Sharif Jan: a place suffix that can be seen in the names of cities such as Baylakhan, Gogan, and Zanjan (Zangan). Therefore, the meaning of the word "Azerbaijan" is: the habitat of the As, the home of the noble people of As, the habitat of the As people.

_The name and origin of Azerbaijan according to Professor "Zahtabi"

The word "Azerbaijan" is "Atropateena" in Greek, "Atropatekan" in Armenian, and "Azerbaygan" in Persian. Atropat was the name of one of the famous generals of Azerbaijan. According to Professor Zahtabi, the word "atropate" can be broken down in the following way At (Od) + Ver-er (hero, brave) + Pot (protector) (here fire protector) Atropateen: (Land of the Fire Guardians) So the root of the word "Atropathan" is as follows: Od + Er + Pat + An (plural suffix borrowed from Turkish to Persian and Armenian): It means the land of fire protectors. After the conquest of the Arabs, Atropaten has become "Azerbaijan".

_The name and origin of Azerbaijan according to professor "Parviz Yakani Zare"

Professor Parviz Yakani Zare, a well-known historian, says the following about the name of Azerbaijan: The word Azerbaijan originally comes from "Hazar Baygan" composed of "Haaz+Ar+Bay+Gan or Arabized Qan means John". "Haaz or Haas" is the name of a tribe of ancient Turks and it is mentioned as "Orkhon Yeni Sei" in the old writings. Some researchers, including "Barthold", consider it probable that the Haaz are related to the "Turuk" tribes, who are introduced by Assyrian inscriptions from 1400 BC as the inhabitants around Urmi Lake. Also, Haaz in Turkish means Ughur and good intention "R" is of Turkish origin and means human. This word is attached to other words as a suffix and creates the name of tribes. Such as: (Avar-Khazar or Khazar-Magyar or Magyar-Qajar or Qajar and...). Hazar means a people and a tribe, which later became "Azer" with slight changes in Persian and Arabic. Because the person Zarathustra (in Turkish means the one who fully understands) and his mother "Daghdo" (in Turkish means the one who gives birth) and their god "Ahar Majda" (in Turkish means the highest and highest human spirit) belong to the culture and people of Turks. have been in the region and according to the sanctity of fire in Zoroastrian religion, later this word was known to be related to fire among the Persians, which is not very true, although the sun and fire are very respected in the Turkan Sakha rituals. And they were known as the saviors of mankind, because it was with the help of light and fire that the Turks were able to burn the iron barrier that Zulqarnain had built against them and enter this world. "Bay" or "Bay" or "Big, Beyk" means rich, wealthy, chief, tribe, ruler, etc. On the other hand, "Baymaq" in Turkish means development and progress. "Gan" in the Turkish language has changed to "Qan" (and in the Arabic language to John) by accepting phonetic changes and has many meanings such as father, Khaqan, etc., and "Qan" in Turkish is a passive sign with emphasis and exaggeration. It is (Chalishkhan) and Baiqan means development of Yaf Yashar faimi (talk) 19:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Anthem lyrics

I don't know if it's possible to edit the closed captions on the anthem, but "The young are intended sententiously!" (at 0.31-) could use some work. Ghost writer's cat (talk) 21:03, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

This can be changed on Commons (c:File:Azərbaycan marşı instrumental.ogg). The English translation at TimedText should be edited. Mellk (talk) 21:08, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

It also looks like Azərbaycan marşı translates this line as "Eager be every youthful heir!". Mellk (talk) 21:10, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect Geography

The intro claims that Azerbaijan is landlocked- it is not. 49.183.27.101 (talk) 01:24, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Azerbaijan Landlocked?

Under Azerbaijan it is stated that Azerbaijan is landlocked which means completely surrounded by land, but in reality it is not. The eastern border is on the Caspian Sea giving them a large bit of sea along it's coast. Coast being the key word here. SnowinCarmel (talk) 21:42, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

As landlocked country says: "A landlocked country is a country that has no territory connected to an ocean or whose coastlines lie solely on endorheic basins." Mellk (talk) 05:08, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
