Apartment Tour | Baku | Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

Housing in Azerbaijan is characterized by high rates of private housing ownership. Construction in the housing industry started to improve in the late 1990s, as the result of the Presidential decree (1997), which eliminated the state monopoly of the construction sector.

About Azerbaijan:
Azerbaijan, officially the Republic of Azerbaijan, is a transcontinental country located at the boundary of Eastern Europe and West Asia. It is a part of the South Caucasus region. It is bounded by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia's Republic of Dagestan to the north, Georgia to the northwest, Armenia and Turkey to the west, and Iran to the south. Baku is the capital and largest city.

The territory of what is now Azerbaijan was first ruled by Caucasian Albania and later various Persian empires. Until the 19th century, it remained part of Qajar Iran, but the Russo-Persian wars of 1804–1813 and 1826–1828 forced the Qajar Empire to cede its Caucasian territories to the Russian Empire; the treaties of Gulistan in 1813 and Turkmenchay in 1828 defined the border between Russia and Iran. The region north of the Aras was part of Iran until it was conquered by Russia in the 19th century, where it was administered as part of the Caucasus Viceroyalty.
