General immigration of the
Azerbaijani people, history and perspectives: the example of France
During the twentieth century, the study of political repression in the
USSR was conducted without the use of statistical sources and data from
international organizations. These documents were kept strictly secret, and
therefore inaccessible. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the
collapse of the USSR in 1991, the world is in fact completely altered. This
process leads to the division of many countries in Europe, which provokes the
arousing of new areas of conflict, and also the proclamation of the in
dependence of few countries such as Azerbaijan in October 1991. These political
changes caused movements of population. Primarily related to security, mainly
due to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, which changed the economy in a
significant way, population migrate and settle in the CIS countries, more
especially in Russia and in Ukraine, or also in Germany, in Israel and
elsewhere. Nowadays, the reasons for the emigration of the Azerbaijani people
are different. Our research scrutinizes, sociologically and historically, all
Azerbaijani migration flows to France at the contemporary times, that is to say
the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. This study is
enhanced by analyses of migration of neighboring countries. The example of
Azerbaijan gathers different types of immigration that is the reason why we
thought it would be relevant and meaningful to analyze the current issues of
population movements. In addition, the study of migration of Azerbaijani is
thrilling and stimulating because of its cultural, political and especially
economical, facets for a better understanding of our societies.
