Summary/Abstract: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Azerbaijani historians have been preoccupied with the redefinition of Azerbaijan’s cultural geography. They rethink the historical narratives of the Soviet era as well as the intellectual discourses of Azerbaijani émigré historians in Turkey, France and Germany. However, Europe, Orient and Turan still remain the key notion and categories which are characteristic for the post-Soviet debate on Azerbaijan’s cultural belonging.
