Looking forward to seeing your pics of Baku - it's been many years since I was there, (2 trips for the lifting eqt company I worked for at the time).

Best of luck with your journey.

We went to Baku old town today and walked some of the walls. Got images and will post when we return.
Lots of the walls have bullet holes.
On a more sober note we also went into the Shah's Palace; the courtyard is again riddled with bullet holes but according to the information plaque these were from the massacre of Azerbaijani civilians by Armenians in 1918. Some 12000 perished in the massacre.
It was chilling to think some of those poor souls died yards from where we were and their memorial were holes from the bullets that killed them.
Needless to say we did not take any image here out of respect.
We also climbed the Maiden Tower (so named because it used to be difficult to enter).
This tower is either 12thC or 7thC depending on who you believe.
It probably was originally a płace of worship and a site for astronomy but became included in the defences of Baku.
Will post images on return.
