In general, refers to the styles and culture of Turkic people of central Asia, forming the basic population of Kazakhstan. Specifically, refers to the style of floor coverings woven by villagers living in western Azerbaijan and in a number of towns and villages in northern Armenia and the adjacent southern part of Georgia. Textiles are typically all wool, coarsely knotted in the symmetrical knot with a long, lustrous pile, and use strong red, blue, and ivory in bold combinations with relatively simple but dramatic designs.
