Azerbaijan

A strategic location between Asia and Europe provides this country of an unmistakable character typical of young nations eager to develop.

Located in the border between Asia and Europe, this young country can be defined as a blend of cultures due to its major influence from Turkey and Iran but also from the times of the Soviet Union.

From the fast-developing capital, Baku, to the historical heritage and nature of the Caucasian region, Azerbaijan is a unique gateway to Europe from Asia… and to Asia from Europe.

Despite being a country of recent creation after the separation of the Soviet Union, the nation stands out for its ancient and rich culture and heritage that is dated more than 3000 years ago.
