Last week we asked whether climactic conditions influence the different cultures in north and south Azerbaijan. Here’s the answer:
False. Differences that have developed are largely due to religion and different political influences. In the north, Soviet domination encouraged a largely secular culture, while in the south the influence of Iran encouraged perpetuation of a largely religious Shi‘ite Muslim population.
