Abstract
The present research seeks to investigate road construction in Azerbaijan and the issue of founding a road construction company and investing in it, suggested during the years 1306 to 1308 AH, towards the end of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar's reign. Naser al-Din Shah's advisers aimed to utilize both domestic and foreign capital and link internal roads to the Ottoman and Russian borders without relying on foreign powers. So, in examining the concepts and initiatives put forth for building roads in Azerbaijan, this research addresses how the predicted investment for road construction transformed compared to the past. This research investigates the problem using an explanatory approach, using published and unpublished documents along with historical sources.
