About Azerbaijan


Azerbaijan Flag
The map shows Azerbaijan, a country in the Caucasus (Transcaucasia) region on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan lies at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia and borders Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Russia, and via the exclave of Nakhichevan, which is separated from the Azerbaijani heartland by an Armenian land corridor, to Turkey.

The former Soviet republic gained independence in 1991 and is now officially the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The country occupies an area of 86,600 km² (33,440 sq mi), including the exclave of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. In comparison, the country is slightly larger than Austria or somewhat smaller than the U.S. state of Maine.

Azerbaijan's territory includes the exclave of the Autonomous Republic of Nakhichevan, which is separated from the mainland by a 35 km wide Armenian land corridor.

Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan is the former autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is now ruled by the larger Republic of Artsakh, a de facto independent state with a predominantly Armenian population. The region is disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is still ongoing.
