Democracy and oil fight it out for the future of Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan, scene of a potentially violent election showdown this
weekend, is a country on the make. Rising revenues from its Caspian
oilfields are expected to double the economy by 2008. Its capital,
Baku, resembles a gold rush boomtown; all the major western oil
companies have a stake in the action. And the secular Muslim state,
sandwiched between Russia and Iran at the "wrong" end of the Caucasus,
also has growing strategic value, not least to the US.
