-Formerly a socialist republic of the [[USSR]] (Soviet Union,) the Republic of Azerbaijan ''(Azərbaycan Respublikası)'' established its full independence in October of 1991. Since that time, there has been a gradual decline in the use of Soviet-style camouflage uniforms within the Azerbaijani Armed Forces ''(Azərbaycan Silahlı Qüvvələri)'' with the standard operational uniforms being replaced by those of other nations and at least a couple patterns of indigenous origin.

 Between February of 1988 and May 1994, Azerbaijan took part in the Nagorno-Karabakh War, in which ethnic Armenians living in Azerbaijan (and militarily supported by the [[Armenia|Republic of Armenia]]) fought to wrest control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region from the Azebaijanis. A ceasefire was declared on 16 May 1994, although tensions still exist between the two nations.

 * During the first Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) - aka the First Karabakh War - many Azeri military personnel wore variations of the Soviet TTsKO camouflage patterns. In some designs, the shapes of appear smaller than the more ubiquitous Soviet era TTsKO and incorporate shape variations as well. Several color variations have been documented during this time period, particularly circa 1993-94, including purple-blue dominant, reddish-brown/tan dominant, and a version with a grey background. The majority of documented photos show personnel deployed to the Nagorno-Karabakh region, although there are some examples of the patterns appearing on Azeri military personnel outside of that area.

 * Some photographs from the 1992-94 era illustrate Azerbaijani troops wearing variations of the Russian ''dubok'' (little oak) or VSR camouflage pattern, as well as the later Flora pattern of 1998. These were undoubtedly imported from Russia or the Ukraine and appear to have been fairly short-lived. These uniforms often appear intermixed with the aforementioned TTsKO variants.
