Territorial disputes between countries are typically rooted in questions of national identity and historical pride where territorial claims are raised as defending their cultural heritage or seeking a sense of legitimacy and national cohesion. These have important geopolitical implications, being able to trigger conflicts, affect bilateral and regional relations, and shape the world order and the international legal system. In this sense, the Republic of Azerbaijan has been affected on several occasions, such as with the Turkmenchay and Batumi treaties, which resulted in the loss of territories, demographic and cultural changes, and regional dynamics; implications that persist to this day and have had a lasting impact on the history and politics of Azerbaijan. The objective of this work is to carry out a brief analysis of the implications of these treaties from a socio-geopolitical context to support the position of Azerbaijan in its claims. For this, the analysis of historical documents was mainly used to later substantiate the legal aspects of the subject.

Keywords : Azerbaijan-Armenian conflict; International law; Territory dispute.
