The final one of the publication series on the stratigraphy of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, the article characterises the lithological-stratigraphic section of the Neogene sedimentary, volcanogenic-sedimentary and volcanogenic formations contributing to the geological composition of the Nakhchivan Depression and partly also the Ordubad Depression. Further, the article provides brief information about the Quarternary continental deposits. The generalisation that is based on the modern International Stratigraphic Scale provides for the dating and description of the selected local stratigraphic sub-divisions and with the reliable palaentological justifications in the majority of cases. The information presented here is being published in English for the first time; it can be utilised for correlation between the Miocene basin sections of the Middle East.
