On 7 March 2000, a major landslide involving an area of 150 000 m2 occurred in the Bayiley zone of the Sabayil district, south of Baku city centre.

Analysis of the landslide mechanism and its causes revealed that it was a single compound slide with one slip surface, which was triggered by intense rainfall during October and November 1999 (more than the average annual precipitation occurred within two months).
