The geographical principles are used in grouping of the soils the highest taxonomic standards in the soviet soil scientists works concerning the classification. But the Azerbaijan soil classification is based on genetic profile. Traditionally – topographic, color, climate and so on names are used in this classification, which in the soils genetic types idea is assumed as a basis. The International classification system is identified on the basis of the diagnostic parameters in the field researches and specified as a result of the laboratory analyses. The Azerbaijan soil classification consists of eight taxonomic level and a high taxonomic level is considered- soil class, section, genetic soil type, low soil taxa - soil gender, sort, diversity, row, soil variants. Mainly used central taxon is soil type. An aim of the research is to determine correlative chances of WRB-2015 International soil classification system with the Azerbaijan soil classification. It was detected that a correlation of both soil classifications is possible. The correlation is taken place in different taxon levels. Therefore, the soils were analysed at a type and subtype standard besides high taxas when the soils were correlated. As a result of correlation, it was defined that irrigated meadow-grey soils should be correlated Anthrosols, but meadow-grey soils concerned Calcisols and Gleysols.
