Geographical distribution of land resources of the East Zangezur economic region

Abstract

East Zangezur economic region was created in Azerbaijan with a new classification and is located in the southwestern part. This region includes Kalbajar, Jabrayil, Lachin, Gubadli and Zangilan districts. The geographical distribution of land resources determines the agricultural and economic potential of East Zangezur. As a result of the research, the climatic and relief characteristics of the lands, as well as the geographical distribution characteristics by category, were analyzed and studied. The results obtained show that the relief structure of mountainous areas is one of the main factors determining the fertility, productivity and agricultural directions of the lands.
