Assyrians in Azerbaijan (Syriac: ܣܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܙܪܒܝܓܐܢ; Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan aysorları), or Azerbaijani Assyrians, are Assyrian people or people of Assyrian descent living in the country of Azerbaijan. While their history in the country spans centuries, the modern immigration of Assyrians to the country is thought to have started in the 19th century, with the Treaty of Gulistan and Turkmenchay.
Determining the exact number of Assyrians in Azerbaijan is difficult, and it's believed that the community living in the country has become assimilated to larger Azerbaijani culture. However, the Joshua Project states that their population is around 1,600.
