Future bound Baku stages connectivity debate

摘要

Welcome to the IAPH Conference 2018 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the booming capital city in the Caspian basin. Baku has been known as a port city for centuries. In the 1 st century, the Romans organised two Caucasian campaigns and reached Baku. Marco Polo and Alexander Dumas both lived in Baku for a period of time, leaving behind mesmerising accounts of the rich cultural heritage of Azerbaijanis. In the mid-19th century, the Rothschilds and Nobel brothers exploited the rich oil fields of Baku and turned the city to the world's biggest oil supplier of the time.
