This website is dedicated to the history of the Azerbaijani families, Ashurov and Malikov, who were famous international traders, from the eighteenth century until the years of the Soviet Union. The families were united in the early twentieth century, with the marriage of the remarkable Teymur Malikov and Kyubra Khanum Ashurova.

 

The subsequent Malikov descendants played important roles in the development and modernisation of independent Azerbaijan and they continue to do so today. On this website, we have set out their remarkable story of success, which is also the story of Azerbaijan and, in particular, the story of the great city of Baku.
