Baku is the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
It is a large scientific, cultural and industrial center. Ancient foundations, a
large area and population all make Baku one of the oldest and largest cities in
the East.
People have lived and founded their settlements in Baku city and the Absheron
peninsula since ancient times. This was motivated by continuous migrations from
north to south and from west to east due to the physical and geographical
conditions, a favorable location in the center of trade routes that crossed Silk
Road, climatic conditions, production of petroleum fuel in ancient times and the
availability of large power resources.
