Azerbaijan is a country in the South Caucasus region, at the meeting point of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea.

Where Azerbaijan Is

  • It sits between Russia and Georgia to the north and northwest, Armenia to the west, Iran to the south, and the Caspian Sea to the east.
  • Its capital city, Baku, is on the Caspian Sea and is known for oil, gas, and a very modern skyline mixed with an old walled city.
  • Geographically, it’s considered a transcontinental country because it straddles Eastern Europe and Western Asia in the Caucasus.

If you imagine a map: start at Turkey, move east past Georgia and Armenia, and stop just before Central Asia across the Caspian Sea—that’s roughly where Azerbaijan is.
