Abstract

ABSTRACT: COVID-19 has significantly impacted many countries of post-Soviet Eurasia, affecting both political and economic realms. Azerbaijan is not alone in suffering from the pandemic and paying a high price. All the problems the country inherited are being exacerbated, forcing the government to seek different modes of development and the managing of governmental affairs. The following article will examine the possible impact of COVID-19 on the political and economic situation in Azerbaijan, and try to predict the future implications of the government's actions for the system.
