Overview: Azerbaijan is 400km long x 500km wide and is located where the east of Europe meets the west of Asia. It is bordered by Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran  and the Caspian Sea with an 800km coastline. All the rivers in Azerbaijan drain into the Caspian Sea. It was formerly the Republic of Azerbaijan and gained independance in 1991 whereupon it became a member of the International Monetary Fund & the World Bank. Azerbaijan is divided into 59 rayons, 11 city districts, and the autonomous republic of Nakhchivan. It is rich in natural gas and oil as well as gold, silver, titanium, copper and many other metals. The South Caucaus Pipeline transports gas to many European countries. It also has vast areas of agricultural land and wood resources. Enormous reserves of forest are found in the Great Caucasus, Talysh Mountains and Lesser Caucasus. Photo of Heybat Mosque, Baku
