Brief information about the Baha'i community of Azerbaijan:

The Bahá'í Faith has existed in Azerbaijan since its inception in the middle of 19th century. In the Soviet Union, the Baha'i Faith as well as other religions could not be practiced openly. After Azerbaijan regained its independence as a soverign state, freedom of worship was restored. In 1992, the Law of Religious Freedom was passed and Bahá'ís in Azerbaijan received permission to build their communities. Today there are two officially registered Bahá'í communities, they are in the cities of Baki and Sumgayit. Since 2004 the National Spiritual Assembly of Bahá'ís of Azerbaijan is also officialy registered. After the democratic changes in Azerbaijan, the Bahá'ís as well as other citizens are free to practice their beliefs.
