The Whole Azerbaijan map.

Whole Azerbaijan (Template:Lang-az) is an irredentist Azerbaijani concept that propagates the political union of territories currently inhabited by Azerbaijanis or historically controlled by them.

History

The idea of Whole Azerbaijan was formulated by Abulfaz Elchibey, the president of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 1992-1993. In 1997 Elchibey founded the organisation Whole Azerbaijan Union (Bütöv Azərbaycan Birliyi). His book on the idea, titled Bütöv Azərbaycan yolunda was published in Ankara in 1998. Elchibey argued that the borders of Azerbaijan should extend from Derbent to the Persian Gulf. He claimed that Azerbaijanis, with historical presence in the territory (" Greater Azerbaijan was historically starting at Derbent in the north and, with its centre in Hamedan, would reach the Persian Gulf"), had right to rule over it with a proposed system of governance called United Azerbaijani Lands (Birləşmiş Azərbaycan Yurdları). In his views published postmortem in 2002, he opposed the idea of a separate and independent Iranian Azerbaijan.

Current use

Distribution of the Azerbaijanis in neighboring countries.

The term Whole Azerbaijan is still preserved in a number of political initiatives including the Whole Azerbaijan Popular Front Party. Although the boundaries of Whole Azerbaijan are not strictly defined, some proponents portray them as encompassing the following areas:
