"Azerbaijanis Flock to Turkish Town
Turkish border city’s population booms as Azerbaijanis come in search of work. By Sabuhi Mammadli in Igdir (CRS No. 417 01-Nov-07) A small Turkish border city has rocketed in size because of an influx of thousands of people from the nearby Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichevan, who are seeking a route out of poverty. Igdir is a small provincial town on Turkey’s eastern border, next door to the Autonomous Republic of Nakhichevan, the Azerbaijani region separated from the rest of the country by Armenian territory. A majority of Igdir’s 60,000 inhabitants are now Azerbaijani."
