It became the first Muslim nation to grant women equal political rights with men, an accomplishment preceding the U.S. After restoring its independence in 1991, “the Republic of Azerbaijan has consolidated its sovereignty and independence, and has become a staunch ally and strategic partner of the U.S. in the critically important Caspian region.
