The article characterizes the peoples of the Khazar Kaganate, taking into account Azerbaijan, which occupies a central position in geopolitics in relation to the Caspian countries on the continent. The Khazars belonged to the Turkic-speaking peoples, and in the 7th century they created the largest trading state on the continent, pursuing primarily economic interests by subjugating the south of Russia and the east of Ukraine, the Crimean peninsula, part of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The Khazar Kaganate propagated religious tolerance and justice for all the countries of the world, while Europe was much tougher on these issues. All persecuted for their beliefs rushed to the Khazar Kaganate. The Khazar Kaganate is regarded as one of the key imperial political players on the continent from 600 to 1000 AD, which exerted a strong influence over the geo-economic and geopolitical stability of all of Eurasia. The collapse of the Khazar Kaganate contributed to the development of new states, and created new geopolitical problems.
