Who they are
The Budug are an indigenous people who inhabit the Caucasus Mountains in northeastern Azerbaijan. They preserve ancestral customs and the Budukh language in historic villages that are difficult to access. With a Muslim tradition and strong community ties, they sustain their families primarily through livestock farming and mountain agriculture, facing the challenge of keeping their unique cultural identity alive.
