Meet Azerbaijan - The Land of Fire











Hello, everyone. Today I, Ayten Giyasova, am introducing on this blog my country, Azerbaijan. Dear, Shinji, thank you very much for inviting me to write in your blog.

They say that centuries ago when zoroastrians were passing the territory of Azerbaijan they saw that land was burning and they decided to settle there as they worshiped fire. Today we know that it was oil, the main natural resource that Azerbaijan has. I will not go into detailed description of Azerbaijan now as you can read a lot on dedicated websites that are available on internet.

My today's aim is that you know where Azerbaijan is located (in case you don't know :). Our neighbouring countries are Turkey, Iran, Russia, Georgia and Armenia. The country is located at the shore of the Caspian Sea, the biggest lake in the world. I am posting today two maps, both to show where Azerbaijan is located. Sorry, Shinji, for violating the rules...

See you soon on the blog again. In the mean time you can have a look at my blog on the region of Azerbaijan, Sheki.
All the best,
Ayten

Welcome! I look forward to reading about a country that is fun for me to pronounce. I enjoyed the pictures on your blog, too. The oil lamps would make a good post here.
