Azerbaijani Tatars

Azerbaijani Tatars, an integral Turkic ethnic group in Azerbaijan and northern Iran, possess a rich heritage shaped by medieval migrations. Their distinct identity, influenced by linguistic and cultural interactions, has endured historical shifts from the Safavid dynasty to Soviet rule. Despite challenges like forced migration, Azerbaijani Tatars persist as cultural contributors, reinforcing their significance in the region’s narrative.
