Population of Azerbaijan
The population, both male and female, appear to be
worse clothed than their neighbours in Armenia. The men are tall and upright;
they have black beards, and differ much from the Turks and Kurds in feature. The
costume worn by the lower class is a black lambskin cap, and a gown, generally
light blue, reaching to the heels, and tightened round the waist by a
handkerchief or shawl. The people of Aderbijan are of Turkish origin; and the
Turkish language, differing widely from the Constantinople dialect, is
universally spoken in the province.

the adjacent provinces of Turkey. — London: Richard Bentley, 1854. P. 124.
