Overview

Azerbaijan

The country of Garry Kasparov, Azerbaijan is located in western Asia, by the Caspian Sea. The economy of this previously Soviet Republic has expanded rapidly due to its offshore oilfields. The autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh, to the west of the country, is at the origin of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which would like the area to be a part of their country. Despite these geographical disputes, Azerbaijan has some beautiful Medieval relics and its cuisine, which is a mixture of many different flavours, is also very typical of the country.

pros

  •  Various parks around Baku are good for hiking.
  •  The local population is hospitable and welcoming.

cons

  •  The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is virulent.
  •  Pollution reaches the coasts of the Caspian Sea.
