Oğuz

Oğuz , also Oghuz , is a city in Azerbaijan . It is the capital of the district of the same name . The name of the city is derived from the Oghuz , from whom the Azerbaijanis, Turks and Turkmens are descended. Until 1991 the city was called Vartaşen or Vartashen (from Armenian Վարդաշեն , Wartaschen ).

The city has a population of around 7100 (2014). The previously largely udic , Tatar and Armenian , predominantly Christian (mostly Armenian-apostolic ) and to a lesser extent Tatar - Jewish population of the city, in which around 3,000 Uden (out of about 10,000 people) spoke the local Wartaschen dialect of Udish , was expelled to Armenia in the course of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the early 1990s. Today there are still around 50 Uden and up to 80 mountain Jews, but no Armenians left in the village.

In the city there is a restored old synagogue from 1906 and a modern mosque. There is also a Heydər Əliyev museum.
