At the end of 1991, after restoration of its independence, Azerbaijan passed through a very difficult way. The country met with Armenia’s direct aggression, transportation blockade, came across with the deep internal-political crisis, danger of civil war, efforts for coup d'etat, plundering and devastating people wealth.
