Who are the largest ethnic group in Azerbaijan?

The largest ethnic group in Azerbaijan is the Azerbaijanis (also known as Azeris), who constitute approximately nine-tenths of the country's population.12

They are a Turkic people of mixed ethnic origin, combining a dominant Turkic strain—which arrived during the 11th-century Seljuq migrations—with the heritage of older, indigenous populations of Transcaucasia. The remaining population consists of small minority groups, including Lezgians, Russians, and Armenians.132
