 Foreign relations of Azerbaijan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azerbaijan, like most other nations, formally recognizes the government of the Republic of Cyprus (Greek Cypriot South), but interestingly enough, the parliament of Azerbaijan's Naxcivan Muxtar Respublikasi issued a resolution recognizing the Turkish Cypriot North (The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) as a sovereign state.
In 2004, Azerbaijan threatened to formally recognize the TRNC if the Annan Plan was voted down by the Greek Cypriots (which it was), but Azerbaijan backed off the threat when it was pointed out that doing so would probably result in negative impact on its ongoing dispute with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Recently, in July 2005, Azerbaijan announced it's intentions to recognize TRNC passports and to commence direct flights from Baku to Ercan Airport in the TRNC (by-passing both Turkey and the Republic of Cyprus).

Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan) is a country in the Caucasus, at the crossroads of Europe and Southwest Asia, with a coast on the Caspian Sea.
Some opponents of the name Azerbaijan assert that it is anachronistic to use it in a historical context before 1918, because, they say, the term was first introduced by the national intelligentsia in early 20th century and later was endorsed by the Bolsheviks, with intention of claiming the northern province of Persia.

Relations did cool somewhat in the second half of 1993 as Aliyev sought to improve relations with Iran and Russia, which had flagged under Elchibey.
In the early 1990s, the primary criterion governing Azerbaijan's relations with foreign states and organizations was their stance on Azerbaijani sovereignty in Nagorno-Karabakh.
At the same time, Aliyev stressed that he viewed Azerbaijan as an independent state that should never again be "someone's vassal or colony." In the summer of 1993, Aliyev issued a blanket plea to the United States, Turkey, Russia, the UN, and the CSCE to work more resolutely toward settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

 Karabagh A White Paper
The Republic of Azerbaijan was the first Azerbaijani state in history, and the dispute over Nagorno Karabagh between the Karabagh Armenians and Azerbaijan, on whose side the Ottoman Turkish army intervened, dates from this period.
The independence of Azerbaijan from the USSR is the first, while the independence of Nagorno Karabagh from Soviet Azerbaijan is the second level of decolonization achieved pursuant to this law.
The attempts of Azerbaijan to present Armenia as its adversary have little foundation in fact and are intended to convert the question of Nagorno Karabagh's self-determination and the disintegration of the Soviet Union's colonial hierarchy into an issue of international confrontation between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
