BBC airs history of Azerbaijan's oil industry
The BBC News Channel has aired a video reportage on the history
of oil industry in Azerbaijan.
The reportage drew attention to the role of Baku oil during the
years of the World War, adding the leading countries of the world
craved for Baku shores because of the “black gold”.
“These lands are rich of oil. In 1900, a half of world oil was
produced in Baku. The oil boom attracted peoples from all parts of
the world, including the Nobel and Rothschild brothers to this
country,” the author noted.
The author said until the mid-19th century oil was mainly used in
the mode of life and medicine. But later the oil started to be
widely used in industry.
The reportage also featured the history of Azerbaijan.
