Interesting Facts About Azerbaijan[edit | edit source]
Before we start learning the numbers, let's discover some fascinating facts about Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is located in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia, bounded by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, Georgia to the northwest, Armenia and Turkey to the west, and Iran to the south. Azerbaijan's capital is Baku, one of the most beautiful cities in the world thanks to its oil prosperity. Azerbaijan is famous for its delicious food, hospitality, and natural beauty. Azerbaijan is also known as the Land of Fire due to its 4000-year-old history of eternal flames burning on top of rock formations.
