AZERBAIJAN is a Eurasian country; it is in Asia but can also be considered part of Europe. For example, the right edge of this online National Geographic map (↗) shows a northern sliver of Azerbaijan being in Europe. Azerbaijan is north and northwest of Iran, east of Armenia, and southeast of Georgia and Russia. Azerbaijan is west of the Caspian Sea and is a major producer of oil and natural gas. In addition to oil and natural gas, agriculture (especially cotton, grains, rice, tea, and tobacco) and the production of steel, textiles, and chemicals are other important features of the Azerbaijani economy. Located on a peninsula stretching out into the Caspian Sea, the capital of Azerbaijan is Baku (Baki). The currency is the Azerbaijani Manat, and its ISO 4217 currency code is AZN.
