Azerbaijan: A Land of Energy and Civilization at the Crossroads of Europe and Asia

Azerbaijan is located at the eastern end of the Transcaucasus region in West Asia, bordered by the Caspian Sea in the east, Russia and Georgia in the west, and Iran and Turkey in the south, making it a crossroads connecting Europe and Asia. The capital city of Baku is known as the "Land of Flames", and the ancient city's Flaming Mountain has been burning for thousands of years due to the abundance of natural gas.

The economy is based on oil and gas, and in recent years the country has been actively developing tourism, with the Gobustan rock art and cultural landscape and the ancient walled city of Baku being listed as World Heritage Sites. This young and ancient country is attracting the attention of the world with its unique geo-charm.
