This article presents the history and ethnography of the udi-
-Albanian people ethnic minority in Azerbaijan and one of the oldest cultures
of mankind with continuous history. Remnants of the ancient Kingdom of
Albania in the Caucasus, they retained the native language, customs and
Christianity amid the ancient Islamic rule. Currently they have representation
in the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and are in the process of
cultural revival and economic development. Resulting from a diligent research
in the areas of cultural anthropology, oral and documented history, the author
presents relevant results in the field of linguistics, history and ethnography of
the people udi.
