THE FRONTIERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN 
I. NORTHERN FRONTIER
* 
The Northern frontier of Azerbaijan starts from the spot where the river 
Tcholock throws itself into the Black Sea (confines of Georgia). It goes up along the 
river as far as the Adjar mountains. 
Following this ridge, it reaches the summits of Khino (8.522 feet) Toshnaour

Mount Nagueba and the summit of Sagalatlobachi (8.141 feet). 
Thence, it goes down towards the South-East, following the Keida-Sou, an 
affluent of the Kura. Crossing this river, it follows the Tisselba towards the summit of 
Tchitis-Kibey (8.554 feet), follows the water divide of the affluent of the Kura, turns 
southward as far as the Kura, near the village of Akhashen, then still southward, it 
goes along the Kura down to the village of Kurtanakev. 
The frontier turns then eastward along the line of the former Russian 
administrative divisions: district of Akhalkalak; territory of Kars, district of

summits of mounts Emlikli (10.017 feet), Agrikar (9.765 feet), the chain of Davakran 
and touches the summit of Mount Dali-Dag (8.624 feet). 
From this point it turns eastward, passes on the summits of mounts Iniak-dag 
(6.636 feet), Boulak-Dag (6.317 feet) up to the village of Alexanderhilf. 
Beyond this village, the frontier goes along the river Khram as far as the 
village of Aroukhlo and the summits of Great Tkialam-Tapa, in the North-Eastern 
direction, it goes in parallel to the Alexandropol-Tiflis railway line for about three 
versts westward, it crosses a little further the Elizabethpol-Tiflis railway line, at 6 
Jem. from the Navtloug railway station. 
From here, the frontier turns eastward again and passes over the summits of 
Mounts Kara-Dara, Sari-yer, Karavan-Tapa, Naomari (3.185 feet), the villages of 
Muganly and Toollar (on the Yora) the summits of Lambeli (2.537 feet), the ridge of 
Katari, the summit of Mliatis and finally Bilenta (3.052 feet) and Nikoratsikha (3.290 
feet). Then turning again northward it reaches at last the confluent of the Taran-Kobu 
and Azan, after crossing the village of Kara-Akatch. Still in the same direction it fol-

Again it turns eastward (frontier of North Caucasian Republic) and extends 
from the main ridge of the Caucasus to the summit of Mount Gouton (12.005 feet). 
Then it descends from the main ridge towards the North-East following the secondary 
mountains which form the water divide above to the rivers Avar-Koysu Kara-Koysu, 
Kasikumukh-Koysu on one side and Samour, Tchirak-Tchay and Ooloo-Tshay on the
