Azerbaijan–Georgia border

The Azerbaijan–Georgia border (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan–Gürcüstan sərhədi, Georgian: აზერბაიჯან-საქართველოს საზღვარი, romanized: azerbaijan-sakartvelos sazghvari) is the international boundary between Azerbaijan and Georgia.

[1] The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Armenia and proceeds overland to the north-east, cutting through Jandari Lake, before turning to the south-east down to the vicinity of Azerbaijan's Mingachevir reservoir.

Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, the peoples of the southern Caucasus had declared the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (TDFR) in 1918 and started peace talks with the Ottomans.

On 5 July 1921 Russia confirmed that the non-disputed sections of the Azeri-Georgian border would remain as they were, whilst transferring Zakatal to Azerbaijan, with this arrangement finalised by treaty on 15 November 1921.

[7][10] Part of the border around the Red Bridge remains mined, a legacy of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the 1990s when Azerbaijan feared that Armenia would take advantage of chaos in Georgia's and utilise the area to launch attacks on its territory.
