The Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828) brought forward significant economic developments in both parts of Azerbaijan that now were to exist on the two different sides of the newly established border.

Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Hasan Nasir al-Din Tusi (1201-1274), an Azerbaijani encyclopedic scientist, statesman and «master of humanity», was born in Tus. The outstanding scholar is considered to be the founder and creator of the Maragha observatory. Having spent many years in the city of Tus, he was dubbed «Tusi». Although he was originally from the city of Saveh, located between Zanjan and Hamadan, the scholar was known as Tusi since he was born in Tus.

Azerbaijan is one of the oldest centers of human civilization. The culture of the Azerbaijani people goes millennia back.

Since time immemorial, Azerbaijanis’ traditional occupation has been agriculture and animal husbandry, which could not but affect the characteristics and diet of the population. National cuisine can tell many interesting things about the culture and history of a country, and in this sense, Azerbaijani cuisine, with its excellent taste and quality characteristics, as it were, speaks for itself.
